Abstract
The Citrus Leafminer (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, is naturally known from most of citrus orchards in Iran. However it is not generally considered as a major pest. There are different natural enemies which significantly control the population of P. citrella, including the following nineteen species of eulophid parasitoid wasps which were collected on CLM larvae from various parts of Iran.
