This study examines the associations between insect herbivores and rosaceous food plants during larval or adult stages. Field and laboratory studies were performed in Trakya University Balkan Campus (Edirne, Turkey) in 2013-2015 period. Herbivorous insects in different developmental stages were gathered alive from the field, 2-3 times a week and reared in laboratory to adult stages. In total, 123 herbivore-food plant associations belonging 53 insect and 11 plant species were identified. Among these, 45 new food plant records for the related herbivore species were determined. Five species (Acleris rhombana (D-S, 1775), Acrobasis suavella (Zincken, 1818), Archips crataegana (Hübner, 1799), Archips xylosteana (L., 1758), Ptycholoma lecheana (L., 1758) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)) and two genera (Coleophora sp. (Hübner, 1822) (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae)), Stigmella sp. (Schrank, 1802) (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae)) were added as new records for the fauna of Edirne province, four species (Diurnea lipsiella (D-S, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Chimabachidae), Lycia zonaria (D-S, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Atethmia ambusta (D-S, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Acrobasis advenella (Zincken, 1818) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)) and one genus (Xylophrurus sp. Forster, 1869 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)) were added as new records for the fauna of European Turkey, one species (Lissonota bilineata Gravenhorst, 1829 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)) were added as a new record for the fauna of Turkey.
