This study was carried out in order to determine parasitoid species attacking leafminers in the family Agromyzidae (Diptera) in Adıyaman province during 2004-2005. 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. Three parasitoid species belonging to the Braconidae (Hymenoptera) were found: Opius basalis Fischer, 1958, O. exiguus Wesmael, 1835, O. monilicornis Fischer, 1962. Eight parasitoid species belonging to the Eulophidae (Hymenoptera) were found: Chrysocharis pentheus (Walker, 1839), Chrysocharis pubicornis (Zetterstedth, 1838), Cirrospilus vittatus Walker, 1838, Diglyphus isaea (Walker, 1838), D. pachyneurus (Graham, 1963), Hemiptarsenus zilahisebessi Erdös, 1951, Pediobius metallicus (Nees,1834), Ratzeburgiola incompleta Boucek, 1971. Two parasitoid species belonging to the Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera) were found: Halticoptera circulus (Walker, 1833), Thinodytes cyzicus (Walker, 1839). Among the parasioids reared, H. circulus and T. cyzicus were recorded for the first time from Agromyzidae in Turkey. In this study, D. isaea was the most predominant parasitoid species found, accounting for 56.18 % of parasitism
