A STUDY OF PRAON HALIDAY (HYMENOPTERA: BRACONIDAE: APHIDIINAE) IN SOUTH-EAST IRAN WITH TWO NEW RECORDS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aphid parasitoids belonging to Praon Haliday in Kerman Province (South-East Iran) were studied. Parasitoid species were reared from field-collected aphids, and the tritrophic associations of parasitoids, their aphid hosts, and the respective host plants were identified. In total, 18 tritrophic associations were presented, from which seven host aphids, eight host plants and six host aphid-host plant combinations were new for Iran. Two species, P. flavinode (Haliday, 1833) and P. unitum Mescheloff & Rosen, 1988, were recorded for the first time from Iran. An illustrated key together with supplementary figures for the identification of species is provided.
