| Summary: | Peribaea tibialis (Robineau-Desvoidy) and Compsilura concinnata (Meigen), which are reported for the first time from Iran, are solitary parasitoids of rice armyworm larvae, Mythimna unipuncta (Haworth), in the rice fields of western Mazandaran. Our studies during 1999-2001 showed that these parasitoids were active on M. unipuncta larvae of different generations, especially 2nd and 3rd generations, and caused 18.7% of larval parasitism. |
