Full TextAbstract
During 2009-2010, aphid parasitoids wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) were investigated in Khorasan Razavi province, North East of Iran. In this survey, a species of aphid parasitoid was collected. Morphometric characters indicated that this species is Aphidius transcaspicus. ITS2 rDNA sequence analyses confirmed classical studies. In phylogenetic analyses, our specimen Aphidius transcaspicus, made a single clade with other population of this species. Aphidius transcaspicus showed a good biological potential on Hyalopterus pruni Geoffroy (Hom: Aphididae) on plum and apricot. So can be used as a biocontrol agent against invasive aphids in khorasan Razavi geographical climates.
