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...

a survey was conducted to identify parasitoids of vegetable leafminer, liriomyza trifolii (burgess), in shiraz region from april 2004 to september 2005. a total of eight eulophid species, viz. baryscapus impeditus nees*, closterocerus formosus westwood, diaulinopsis arenaria erdos*, diglyphus crassinervis erdos, diglyphus isaea walker, diglyphus pulchripes crawford*, hemiptarsenus zilahisebessi...

Vegetables are considered high value crops based on their growing areas and productivity, even if they affected by a variety of insect pests throughout the whole season. Leaf miner is an immature that lives inside consumes leaf tissues vegetable plants. Adult females puncture with ovipositor, forming tube pattern, feed punctured parts.

We studied two species of neotropical parasitoids that occur naturally in northeastern Brazil and are associated with Liriomyza sativae (Blanchard): Opius (Gastrosema) scabriventris Nixon (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Chrysocharis vonones (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). We evaluated the influence of seven temperatures on the duration of the egg-adult period and on the survivorship of the im...
