Özet

In this study, a total of 48 natural enemies was found associated with 17 aleyrodid species from among the 26 aleyrodid species known from Southern Anatolia. In addition to these natural enemies, one species, Acletoxenus formosus Loew (Diptera: Drosophilidae), was identified as a first record for the Turkish fauna. The most common natural enemies, found on most whitefly species, were Cladosporum sp. (fungi), Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), Conwentzia hageni Banks (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae), Clitostethus arcuatus Rossi, Serangium montazerii Fürsch, Chilocorus bipustulatus L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Encarsia inaron Walker (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae). © 2003 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
