Abstract
Studies were conducted during the years 2001–2003 to determine the parasitoids of Aphidoidea (Homoptera) species on weeds in Ankara province. Six genera and ten species of aphid parasitoids belonging to Braconidae were determined. The tritrophic associations of plant/aphid/parasitoid were analyzed. Forty-four associations of aphidiinae wasps, host aphids and host plants new to the Mediterranean region and 71 new associations for Turkish fauna were reported.
