Read More Several species of hemipteran bugs belonging to Pentatomidae were known as the major pistachio pests (1, 2, 3). They are suitable hosts for a number of parasitoid wasps, which play a key role to decrease bugs population, although insecticides have been considered the major means of pest control for the last 65 years in pistachio orchards. The abundance and diversity of parasitoids attacking two stink bugs e.g., Brachynema germari (Kolenati) and Acrosternum arabicum Wagner were surveyed at the pistachio plantation areas of Kerman province, southern part of Iran. Samplings were carried out in July, August and September 2009 and 2010. The egg masses of two pentatomid bugs species were collected from pistachio fruit clusters and were separately reserved under laboratory conditions. At the same time, the adult stink bugs were also collected from pistachio trees. A total of 2660 pentatomid bug eggs were collected through two years out of which, four species of hymenopterous parasitoids were identified including three primary parasitoids belong to Scelionidae (62.7%) and 37.3% represented Ooencyrtus sp. (Hym.: Encyrtidae), a facultative parasitoid for stink bug eggs. The parasitoid Trissolcus agriope (Kozlov & Lê) was the most abundant scelionid (32.9%), followed by Trissolcus volgensis (Viktorov) (21.6%) and Psix saccharicola (Mani) (8.2%). The natural parasitism rate varied from year to year as 95% and 88% in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Based on available references, Acrosternum heegeri Fieber and Acrosternum millieri (Mulsant and Rey) (both Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) have been reported from pistachio trees (1, 3). However, these two stink bugs were not collected in the present survey. It was found that A. arabicum is widely distributed on pistachio trees in Kerman province feed on pistachio fruits, and it is reported for the first time. In addition, two scelionid wasps including T. volgensis and P. saccharicola are considered as the active parasitoids for B. germari and A. arabicum. It is the first report for presence of these two scelionid wasps attacking stink bugs in pistachio plantations. The scelionid parasitoids were examined and identified by Prof. N. F. Johnson, the Ohio State University, and the pentatomid bugs were identified by Dr R. E. Linnavuori, Finland.

Read More In order to identify the family Chrysididae in Hayk Mirzayans Insects Museum (HMIM) which located at Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection (IRIPP, Tehran), during 2010-2012, the collected specimens by different methods such as Malaise trap and sweeping net from different parts of Iran were studied. Identification were made using Kimsey & Bohart (1991) and confirmed by the forth author (2). In this collection the species of the genus Pentachrysis Lichtenstein, 1876 belong to the tribe Chrysidini were identified. There are a few species of this genus around the world, and mainly are distributed in the Palearctic region, and Middle East countries. Generic diagnosis: Moderately large, 9-10 mm, TFC (transverse frontal carina) strong, malar space 2.5-3.5 times MOD (Median ocellar diameters), mesopleuron strongly bidentate, third tergite with well-developed pit row, and by five sharp apical teeth (1). Within this collection two species were identified as follow: 1- Pentachrysis amoena (Eversmann, 1857): Material examined: Sistan & Baluchestan province, Khash, Kousheh-ye Sofla, May 1969, Leg. A. Pazuki. One specimen. Morphological characters: Body length 6-13 mm, head with TFC, long malar space, slender flagellum, TIII with five apical teeth that bisected by a middle tooth. Anal margin green in male and blue in female. Distribution: Russia (2) and new record for the fauna of Iran. 2- Pentachrysis seminigra (Walker, 1871): Material examined: Alborz province, Karaj, Kandovan, June 1979, Leg. Pazuki & Mortazavi, 1 female. Morphological characters: Body length 9-13 mm, this species is usually green and blue overall, but scutum and scutellum is gold and middle part of scutellum by a blue color, SII usually with dark spots, forewing marginal cell is closed, tegula is blue, thorax have a deep punctuation, pronotum is short and with a long medial carina, postscutellum usually well developed . Distribution: Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Malaysia (2) and new record for the fauna of Iran.
