A study of Orgilinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Turkey with New Records

Abstract

Present study was conducted in the Northeast Anatolian Region of Turkey during 2010-2013. A total of 15 braconid species were determined in Orgilus genus of the subfamily Orgilinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). Four species were new records for the Turkish fauna: Orgilus interjectus Teager, 1989, O. meyeri Telenga, 1933, O. nanellae Tobias, 1986 and O. tobiasi Teager, 1989. Additionally, Orgilus interjectus was obtained from the larvae of Pandemis heparana (Denis and Schiffermuller, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) as new host and Orgilus tobiasi was obtained from the larvae of Archips podana (Scopoli, 1763) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) as first host.
