Abstract
Tryphera lugubris (Meigen, 1824) (Diptera: Tachinidae) was reared from larvae of Arctia festiva (Hufnagel, 1766) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) feeding on yellow starthistle [Centaurea solstitialis L. (Asteraceae)] plants in Karacadag Mountain of Diyarbakır, Turkey. Arctia festiva was recorded for the first time as host of this parasitoid. Additionally, T. lugubris was recorded for the first time from Turkey. Some information on the host-parasitoid couple, and description of the parasitoid species, is also provided.
