Abstract :During 2007-2008 survey conducted on the Turkey oak insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Quercus cerris); in Isparta province Psilophrys parvulus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Encyrtidae); and its host Kermes bacciformis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hemiptera: Coccoidea, Kermesidae); represent new species records for Turkey. Previously, P. parvulus was known only from Italy where it was first recorded. The emergence behavior of this parasitoid differs from that of most scale insect parasitoids emerging from the anal opening of its host rather than chewing a hole in the scale insect`s test to emerge.Keywords : Key words Encyrtidae, Kermesidae, new record, distribution, Psilophrys parvulus, Kermes bacciformis, Turkey Oaks
