during the study of parasitoids of leafminer flies, some parasitoid wasps belonging to the family eulophidae, including cirrospilus variegatus (masi), diglyphus isaea (walker) and hemiptarsenus zilahisebessi erdã¶s were collected and identified, of which c. variegatus is a new report for iran. the latter species was reared from liriomyza sativa blanchard (diptera: agromyzidae) on cucumber in th...

Diglyphus isaea Walker (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is an important ectoparasitic wasp of many leaf miners. Ability of D. isaea to find hosts placed in artificial mines and for its larvae to pupate when the larva is not in a mine was studied. Artificial mines consisted of slits cut in index card sandwiched between two cover slips. Almost 80% of the neonate larvae of D. isaea located host larvae in...

Routine measures used to control the larval stages of non-statutory leafminer species in the United Kingdom rely largely on either the use of the braconid parasitoid Dacnusa sibirica Telenga and the eulophid wasp Diglyphus isaea Walker as, for example, in tomato crops, or on chemical insecticides for control in leafy salad and ornamental plants (Garthwaite and Thomas, 2001).
