Abstract

The assemblage of hymenopteran parasitoids associated with the poplar leaf blotch miner moth Phyllonorycter populifoliella (Treitschke, 1833) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) developing on the Balsam Poplar (Populus balsamifera L., 1753) was studied in Izhevsk. The assemblage included 35 species of parasitoids belonging to the Eulophidae (Eulophinae, Entedoninae, and Tetrastichinae), Pteromalidae, Encyrtidae, Ichneumonidae, and Braconidae, with 18 species being reported as Ph. populifoliella parasitoids for the first time. Sympiesis sericeicornis, Chrysocharis laomedon and Sympiesis gordius were major elements of the assemblage. While S. gordius showed a confident negative correlation with the population density of the miner, none of the other two species had confident relationships with the population density of the host. Possible causes of the low efficacy of the parasitoid assemblage on Ph. populifoliella population are briefly outlined.
