Leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) are pests of various crops, mainly in greenhouses, and have Diglyphus spp. as important leafminer larval parasitoids. Until recently, only Diglyphus insularis (Gahan) had been reported in Brazil. In here we report the first records of Diglyphus begini (Ashmead), D. intermedius (Girault) and D. isaea (Walker) in Brazil. These parasitoids were found parasitizing ...

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...

An annotated checklist of Israeli Eulophidae, excluding Tetrastichinae, is presented based primarily on a total of 757 specimens collected since the 1970s from 70 localities in Israel mostly by Malaise traps, sweeping and rearing from hosts. Altogether, 127 species belonging to 35 genera are recorded, of which 82 species (65%) are newly reported for Israel. Valid names, distribution, and known ...

The results of this study revealed a steady increase in population density leaf miners Liriomyza bryoniae (Kaltenbach) from 1.33 larvae/leaf at the beginning season to 3.3, 6, and 7 with progression agricultural until 10 November, slight drop occurred end season. that miner showed significant negative correlation (-0.74) maximum temperature non-significant minimum temperature. percentage factor...

Some neglected genera of Palearctic Eulophidae and Pteromalidae (Chalcidoidea) are reviewed as part of ongoing preparation of keys to identification of world genera of these families. Some of these genera are represented by distinctive species which properly belong to larger genera, and some were described based on misinterpreted morphological characters. Bryopezus Erdös syn. nov. is synonymize...

The parasitism efficiency of a parasitoid largely depends on its host location and stinging behaviour. This study aimed to assess the behaviour Diglyphus isaea larvae some selected plants. Three plants, including tomato, eggplant, pepper, were evaluated for their influence D. isaea's results showed that was significantly influenced by plant. highest frequency observed tomato followed eggplant p...
