Title : ( First record of Aphelinus paramali Zehavi and Rosen 1989 (Hymenoptera, Aphelinidae), parasitoid of Aphis pomi de Geer (Hemiptera, Aphididae) in Iran, and its phylogenetic position based on sequence data of ITS2 and COI genes )

Full TextAbstract
The occurrence of Aphelinus paramali (Zehavi & Rosen) (Hym., Aphelinidae) was evidenced from north east Iran, in association with Aphis pomi (de Geer). This species is reported from Iran for the first time, and A. pomi is introduced as a new host for this parasitoid. Detailed morphological characters were studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs. Also, sequences of ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) genes were used for determining species boundaries and comparing with other Aphelinus species. Different results were obtained in phylogenetic analysis of these two regions. Analysis of COI gene supported the closer relationship of this species with Aphelinus abdominalis. This is the first data about comprehensive characterization of a parasitic wasp using morphological characters, SEM and two-locus information from Iran.
