Özet

The parasitoids of Nothris verbascella larvae (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) found on Verbascum densiflorum and V sinuatum (Scrophulariaceae) in Edirne, Turkey were studied between May 2005 and May 2007. Three species of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) were recorded as parasitoids of X verbascella (Temelucha interruptor: T decorata, and Tricholabus femoralis). Parasitoidism by T decorata on N. verbascella larvae is a new record for Turkey. In addition, we first report new host-parasitoid relationships: N. verbascella with T interruptor and Tricholabus femoralis. Tricholabus femoralis is also a new record for the Turkish fauna. The presence of N. verbascella on V densiflorum and V sinuatum is a new record. This study also reports the first host record of Tricholabus femoralis.
