Description of Pauesia (Pauesia) anatolica (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) sp. nov., a parasitoid of the cedar aphid Cinara cedri
Phytoparasitica 33 (5), 499-505
Abstract: The first parasitoid species reared from a population of the cedar aphid, Cinara cedri Mimeur, 1935 (Hemiptera: Aphididae), from the peninsula of Anatolia in Turkey is described. Pauesia anatolica (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) is closely related to some species of the laricis group of Pauesia from which it differs in the number of antenomers, the propodeum and features of the female genitalia. Its potential use as a natural enemy in areas where the aphid has been introduced is discussed.
