التسجيل الأول للعدو الحيوي Sclerodermus abdominalis على الحشرة البوبروستيد البرونزي Perotis lugubris في سورية

الملخص EN

The natural enemy sclerodermus abdominalis westwood, 1839 (hymenoptera, bethylidae) was recorded on the bronze buprestid insect, perotis lugubris (coleoptera: buprestidae) for the first time in sweida governorate, Syria.

the presence of this natural enemy in sweida governorate gave new prospect for the biological control of the buprestidae species, which attack pome trees, and gave hope to reduce the distribution of this insect on large scale in this governorate, considering the difficulty of chemical control against larval stage in the roots.

the parasitism potential of s.

abdominalis on larval and pupal stages of insect species of families cerambycidae, scolytidae, anobiidae, buprestidae and bostrichidae enhances success possibilities of biological control, especially when parasitoid species can easily breed and reproduce in the laboratory and released later in nature.

adult’s morphology was described for both the winged males and non-winged females.
