Braconidae (Hymenoptere, Ichneumonoidea) checklist of Cyprus island

Ahmet BEYARSLAN

Abstract

The study is based on studies on the Cyprus Braconidae fauna. A total of 112 species belonging to 14 subfamilies of Braconidae (Agathidinae, Aphidinae, Blacinae, Brachistinae, Braconinae, Cheloninae, Doryctinae, Euphorinae, Homolobinae, Macrocentrinae, Microgasterinae, Opiinae, Orgilinae, Rogadinae) are reported from Cyprus. Changes with respect to the previous Cyprus fauna are briefly annotated and the distributions for all the species are presented. Orders, families, and authors of each host species are compiled and listed alphabetically.

Keywords

Checklist, Terrestrial, Ichneumonoidea Bracon, Pentadaktylos Cyprus
