Abstract :The sawfly Cimbex quadrimaculata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Müller); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hymenoptera: Cimbicidae); has been identified as a serious defoliator of young almond plants in Antalya. Two ichneumonid parasitoids, Opheltes glaucopterus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Linnaeus); and Phobetes nigriceps insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Gravenhorst); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ctenopelmatinae);, were reared as larva-pupa parasitoids of C. quadrimaculata. Of these, P. nigriceps was obtained for the first time from C. quadrimaculata; it is a new record for the Turkish fauna as well as for the continent of Asia.
