Abstract

A survey was conducted to identify parasitoids of leafminers in Shiraz region during spring 2005. The specimens of the Eulophid parasitoid wasp, Diglyphus poppoea Walker, were reared from wheat leaves infested by Agromyza ambigua Fallén (Dip.: Agromyzidae) larvae in Pole-Fasa, Zarghan and Zafarabad regions. This parasitoid, which is recorded for the first time from Iran, was identified by Gencer, Turkey.
