Situation deLymantria dispar [Lep.: Lymantriidae] et de son complexe parasitaire en Iran, en 1976

New record and new associations of two leaf miner parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae) from Iran

“…The second species, Protapanteles liparidis has already been reared in Iran, but this is the first time it has been reared in trophic association with Phyllonorycter populifoliella (Gracillariidae). Worldwide, the species P. liparidis is known as a parasitoid of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Schopf and Steinberger, 1996;Herard et al, 1979). In Iran, we found this species as a gregarious endoparasitoid mainly on 2 nd and 3 rd larval instars.…”

“…Note -Based on van Achterberg and Polaszek (1994), this genus differs from Apanteles mainly by the fact that the first metasomal tergite is comparatively more slender and gradually narrowed apically; the width of the second tergite is more than 1.5-times the apical width of the first tergite; the propodeum is largely smooth, but may be reticulate posteriorly or largely rugulose-punctate, the ovipositor is usually short, hardly protruding beyond the apex of the metasoma (shorter than the basitarsus of the hind leg) and its sheath is only apically setose. Gregarious endoparasitoid (Herard et al, 1979) Hosts -Acronicta rumicis (L.) (Cho et al, 2006), Calliteara abietis (Denis et Schiffermüller) (Tobias, 1986), C. pudibunda (L.)

(Tobias, 1986), Euproctis taiwana (Shiraki) (Chen et al, 2009), Ivela auripes (Butler) on Cornus controversa Hemsley (Togashi, 1988), Lymantria dispar (L.) on Quercus cerris L., Q. petraea (Matt.) et Q. rubra L. (Bouché, 1834;Telenga, 1955, Yu et al, 2012, Lymantria obfuscata Walker (Sankaran, 1976), Malacosoma neustria (L.) (Telenga, 1955), Orgyia australis Walker (Sonan, 1944), O. australis postica (Walker) (Telenga, 1955), O. thyellina Butler (Togashi, 1981), Rhyacionia buoliana (Denis and Schiffermiiller) (Papp, 1984), Teia antiquiodes Hübner (Telenga, 1955).…”

“…Distribution -This species has been reported from the Palaearctic region (Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, North Africa) (Yu et al, 2012), Iran (Herard et al, 1979;Fallahzadeh and Saghaei 2010). Introduced in USA.…”

The Iranian fauna of the subfamilies Acaenitinae, Banchinae, Campopleginae, Ophioninae and Tryphoninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) with some new records

“…From this subfamily, 18 species have previously been recorded from Iran (Shojaei 1968, Herard et al 1979, Kasparyan 1981. Distribution of the Iranian species of Tryphoninae.…”

Casinaria Holmgren and Dusona Cameron (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) in Iran: distribution extension

“…Because of this, Campoplegines are widely investigated and considered for both classical and conservation biological control of pests (Quicke, 2015). In Iran, the first data on the this subfamily comes from surveys on the parasitoids of some important pests (Gonzalez et al, 1980;Herard et al, 1979) but over past two decades, the faunal, taxonomical and bioecological researches have been considerably accelerated our information on this subfamily as up to now, 64 campoplegine species have been reported and 14 host-parasitoid relations have been documented (Amiri et al, 2017;Barahoei et al, 2012;Fathi et al, 2012;, 2018Mohammadi-Khoramabadi & Ziaaddini, 2017;Mohebban et al, 2016;Riedel et al, 2019aRiedel et al, , 2019bShaw et al, 2016;Talebi et al, 2006).…”
