Abstract

During sampling of Apricot branches in several locations in Fars province (in Bavanat and Khorram-Bid) (Iran) at February and March 2012, a larval parasitoid of long horned beetle Cerambyx dux (Col.: Cerambycidae) was found. The ichneumonid parasitoid, Dolichomitus kriechbaumeri (syn. subglabratus), was reared from the larvae of Cerambyx dux, which infests the trunks and twigs of apricot in orchards. Cerambyx dux is a new host for D. kriechbaumeri.
