Aphid Parasitoids in a Dry Lowland Area of Khuzestan, Iran (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae)

Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) of Northeastern Iran: Aphidiine-Aphid-Plant Associations, Key and Description of a New Species

“…L. fabarum is the best example of a broadly oligophagous parasitoid that commonly parasitizes numerous aphid species of the genera Aphis and Brachycaudus on different host plants, including economically important crops. It has a wide distribution throughout Iran (Rakhshani et al 2005a,b; Talebi et al 2009; Mossadegh et al 2011), including the studied area. Although there were indications that L. confusus is conspecific with L. fabarum (Belshaw et al 1999; Carver and Franzmann 2001), L. confusus is still retained as a valid species because of its complex biology and the ongoing research on the revision of the genus Lysiphlebus.…”

Aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) in cultivated and non-cultivated areas of Markazi Province, Iran

“…Starý et al (2000) reviewed the Aphidiinae species and their host association in Iran and listed 49 species. Since then, further investigations have been performed on the taxonomy and faunal diversity of Aphidiinae in Iran (Starý et al 2005;Rakhshani et al 2005aRakhshani et al , b, c, 2006Rakhshani et al , 2007aRakhshani et al , b, 2008aTomanović et al 2007;Kazemzadeh et al 2009;Barahoei et al 2010;Mossadegh et al 2011).…”
