Abstract

Fifteen parasitoid species of order Hymenoptera were collected in eight habitats in Bulgaria. Six species belong to family Ichneumonidae, respectively 5 – to Braconidae, 2 – to Eulophidae and 1 respectively to Perilampidae and Pteromalidae. Microplitis naenia and Phthorima compressa are new species for Bulgarian fauna. Four new primary host-parasitoid trophic interactions were established and eight plant associates are new for the parasitoids Teliutaea striata – Rubus idaeus.
