Abstract

The parasitoid wasp, Psyllaephagus saxaulicus Sugonjaev, 1968 (Hym.: Encyrtidae) is newly reported from Iran. It was reared from the olive psyllid, Euphyllura straminea Loginova (Hem.: Liviidae) on the olive tree, Olea europaea L. (Oleaceae), which is considered as a new host-parasitoid association. Here, the male of P. saxaulicus is described and illustrated for the first time and a redescription is provided to facilitate the recognition of its female. Furthermore, other new associations, Marietta picta (André) (Hym.: Aphelinidae) and Chartocerus kurdjumovi (Nikol`skaya) (Hym.: Signiphoridae) as hyperparasitoids are recorded.
