New Record and DNA Barcoding of Dolichogenidea laevigata (Ratzeburg, 1848) as a Parasitoid of Archips rosana (Linnaeus, 1758) from Iran

Abstract

This is the first report for Iran of Dolichogenidea laevigata (Ratzeburg, 1848) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae) parasitizing larvae of the European leaf roller Archips rosana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). The parasitized larvae of A. rosana were obtained from different host plants. The occurrence of D. laevigata and its diagnosis are presented. In addition, a full DNA barcode (the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I, (COI) barcoding region) of the species was obtained for the first time.
