Rates of parasitism by Hymenoptera varied between 11.45% and 14.9%in Ceratitis capitata pupae from field-infested loquat and guava orchards in Tartous, Syria. The predominant parasitoid was Aganaspis daci and this is the first record for Syria. Further studies are now required to evaluate their potential in biological control.
