Abstract
This work is devoted to studying the morphology and biology of preimaginal stages of development of the parasitic wasp Minotetrastichus frontalis. The morphological characteristics of eggs and larvae, the features of interaction of the parasitic wasp with the host (Phyllonorycter issikii), and other biological characteristics were determined. For the species identification of the studied specimens of insects, we performed molecular genetic analysis using a nuclear 28S RNA gene fragment as a molecular marker. The result showed a strong genetic polymorphism of the populations of the studied species for the selected marker.
