Tamarixia species (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), parasitoid of Triozinae (Hemiptera: Triozidae) in Iran with new evidence of Tamarixia poddubnyi (Kostjukov, 1978)
摘要
In the current study, Tamarixia poddubnyi (Kostjukov, 1978) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) was first reared from Trioza neglecta Loginova, 1978 (Hemiptera: Triozidae) on Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae) in northwestern Iran. This is considered as a new host-parasitoid association. The new finding extends the distribution of T. poddubnyi to the Middle East. A total of four species of Tamarixia are here listed from Iran, along with their summarised geographical distribution and biological data. A key to the Iranian species of Tamarixia is also provided.
