The larval food-plant of Agonopterix dideganella Amsel, 1972 Lepidoptera: Depressaridae and its new larval parasitoid Copidosoma sosares Walker record

Abstract

In this study, host-plant Prangos sp. and larval parasitoid Copidosoma sosares of Agonopterix dideganella has been detected for the first time. Also, C. sosares is reported as a new record for Chalcidoidea fauna of Turkey. Besides, photos of development stages of A. dideganella with its host plant, parasitoid and habitat are presented in the study
