one may decide if pm is twice as long as st or 1.8 times longer than it. A small error in
measurement may lead to an erroneous decision and misidentification. We need a
more precise key and might be necessary to add molecular traits and more detailed
morphological characters in future work. This may necessitate a comprehensive
study and revision of previous works.
Among platygastroid species, just some species, of Trissolcus were used for
control of sunn-pests’ complex (Eurygaster spp. and on a smaller scale Aelia spp.,
Dolycoris spp., Carpocoris spp. etc) in cereal fields (Alexandrov 1948a, b; Martin
et al. 1969; Safavi 1973; Radjabi 2000). A potential target pest complex also may be
true bugs related to pistachio, with a rich fauna of these parasitoids upon them
