Article The Aphelinid and Encyrtid Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) of Pseudococcidae (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) in the Van Lake Basin of Turkey(Entomological Soc Turkey, Ege Univ, 2010) Kaydan, M. Bora; Japoshvili, GeorgeParasitoids of mealybugs were surveyed at the Van Lake basin (Agri, Bitlis, Hakkari, Igdir and Van), Turkey, during the years of 2005 and 2008. Parasitized mealybug specimens were collected from ornamental, cultivated and wild plants and to obtain parasitoids, put into controlled environment room and adult emergence was monitored. Sixteen species of parasitoids were recorded, one of which belongs to the family Aphelinidae and 15 to the family Encyrtidae. One genus and nine species were newly recorded for the Turkish fauna. Two species, Anagyrus kilinceri Japoshvili sp. nov. and Charitopus eristoi Japoshvili sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), are described as new species.Article New Records of Psilophrys Parvulus and Its Host Kermes Bacciformis From Turkey(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2009) Japoshvili, George; Kaydan, Mehmet Bora; Karaca, IsmailDuring 2007-2008 survey conducted on the Turkey oak (Quercus cerris) in Isparta province Psilophrys parvulus (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Encyrtidae) and its host Kermes bacciformis (Hemiptera: Coccoidea, Kermesidae) represent new species records for Turkey. Previously, R parvulus was known only from Italy where it was first recorded. The emergence behavior of this parasitoid differs from that of most scale insect parasitoids emerging from the anal opening of its host rather than chewing a hole in the scale insect's test to emerge.
