Abstract
*2 Summary The study was carried out to determine parasitoid species attacking leafminers in the family Agromyzidae (Diptera) in Malatya province during 2007-2008. Infested leaves with leafminer larvae were collected from both cultivated and non-cultivated plants twice a month. Adults parasitoids were obtained by rearing them from infested leaves in the laboratory. Two parasitoid species:, Phaedrotoma diversa (Szepligeti, 1898), Xynobius (Xynobius) discoidalis (Fischer, 1957) belonging to the Braconidae (Hymenoptera) and five parasitoid species: Cirrospilus pictus (Nees, 1834), C. talitzkii Boucek, 1961, Diglyphus isaea (Walker, 1838), Diglyphus pachyneurus Graham, 1963, Pnigalio soemius (Walker, 1839) belonging to the Eulophidae (Hymenoptera) were found. Among the parasioids, X. (Xynobius) discoidalis and C. talitzkii are new records for the Turkish fauna. Moreover, P. diversa, and C. pictus were recorded for the first time from species of Agromyzidae in Turkey. D. isaea was found the predominant parasitoid species, accounting for 48.55% of presence of parasitoid rate.
