Abstract

In this study a survey for determining the parasitoid complex of Planococcus ficus (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) was conducted in Adana and Mersin Provinces, Turkey. Five primary, two primary/secondary, two secondary parasitoid species associated with P. ficus, were found. Clausenia josefi Rosen and Chartocerus kurdjumovi (Nikol’skaya) are new records for Turkish fauna.
