Full TextAbstract
Sclerodermus domesticus (Latreille 1809) (Hym., Betylidae) was collected from Northeastern of Iran, in association with larvae of Osphranteria coerulescens (Redtenbacher, 1850) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The bethylids were found as larval ectoparasitoids on the longhorn beetle larvae. The parasitic wasp had gregarious activity, with significant in reproduction rate as well parasitism. This is first record of the parasitic wasp from Iran while the O. coerulescens is recorded as a new host for this parasitoid. The parasitoid was identified using classic data accompanied with results of DNA sequences analysis of COI and 28S genes. In addition, we provide knowledge about biology of the parasitoid and present a discussion about its bionomics.
