Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the Braconinae (Hym., Braconidae)
parasitoid wasps, associated with Asteraceae in the northwest of Iran during 2013–2015.
Ten species were reared from flower-heads of Asteraceae: Bracon bipartitus Wesmael,
1838; B. leptus Marshall, 1897; B. luteator Spinola, 1808; B. mariae Dalla Torre, 1898; B.
pectoralis Wesmael, 1838; B. subrugosus Szépligeti, 1901; B. talyshicus Tobias, 1976; B.
trucidator Marshall, 1888; B. tschitscherini Kokujev, 1904 and B. urinator (Fabricius, 1798),
of which one species (i.e., B. talyshicus) is recorded for the first time from Iran. We also
reared some non-frugivorous Tephritidae feeding on the collected flower-heads that can
be possible host of these braconids. General distribution and biological associations for
all species that have been collected in this study are compiled.
