Parasitoids of several lepidopterous pest in maize plantations in the southeast Anatolian region of Turkey

2003-2004 yıllarında Güney Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’ndeki mısır yetiştirilen alanlarda zarar yapan bazı Lepidoptera tırtıllarının parazitoitleri çalışılmış ve bu zararlılardan Apenteles sp., Bracon hebetor (Say.), Chelonus oculator Panzer, Meteorus rubens Nees (Hym.: Braconidae), Conomorium patulum Walk. (Hym.: Pteromalidae), Diadegma crassicornis (Gray.) subsp. africator Aubert (Hym.: Ichneumonidae), Euplectrus sp. (Hym.: Eulophidae), Exorista larvarum (Linnaeus), E. xanthaspis (Wiedemann) ve Gonia bimaculata Wiedemann, Drino imberbis (Wiedemann), Pseudogonia rufifrons (Wiedemann), ve Linnaemya neavei Curran (Dip.: Tachinidae) parazitoit türleri elde edilmiştir. Diadegma crassicornis (Gray.) subsp. africator’un Mythimna loreyi (Duponchel)’yi parazitlediği ilk defa tespit edilmiştir.

Güney Doğu Anadolu bölgesindeki mısır alanlarında zarar yapan bazı lepidoptera türlerinde saptanan parazitoitler

The parasitoid complex of several lepidopteran pests were studied in maize plantations in the Southeast Anatolian Region of Turkey during 2003-2004. Apenteles sp., Bracon hebetor (Say.), Chelonus oculator Panzer, Meteorus rubens Nees (Hym.: Braconidae), Conomorium patulum Walk. (Hym.: Pteromalidae), Diadegma crassicornis (Gray.) subsp. africator Aubert (Hym.: Ichneumonidae), Euplectrus sp. (Hym.: Eulophidae), Exorista larvarum (Linnaeus), E. xanthaspis (Wiedemann) Gonia bimaculata Wiedemann, Drino imberbis (Wiedemann), Pseudogonia rufifrons (Wiedemann), and Linnaemya neavei Curran (Dip.: Tachinidae) were reared from field-collected larvae. Mythimna loreyi (Duponchel) (Lep.: Noctuidae) was for the first time found to serve as a host for Diadegma crassicornis (Gray.) subsp. africator (Hym.: Ichneumonidae).
