| Abstract: | A survey was performed between 2007 and 2013 to investigate the complex of parasitoids on Cydia pomonella (codling moth) in apple and walnut orchards in Syria. This study showed the presence of 17 species belonging to 7 families from two orders (Hymenoptera and Diptera). The families Ichneumonidae and Braconidae were most common, comprising 8 and 4 species, respectively. Mastrus ridibundus and Neoplectops pomonella were new records for Syria. |
