hello,

you can read this wabpage : http://www.cabi.org/isc/datasheet/44409 but i don'know if species which are cited exist in Iran

Dear Mansour,

I know two natural enemies (parasites) of P. tabaniformis in literature:

Moraal,L.G. : Apanteles evonymellae fauna n.sp.,een nieuwe parasitoid van de populiereglasvlinder,Paranthrene tabaniformis(Hymenoptera:Braconidae; Lepidoptera:

Sesiidae) - Ent.Ber.Amst.47(9):137-139,1987.

Moraal,L.G. : TeIenomus phalaenarum fauna nov.spec.,als eiparasitoid van de populiereglasvlinder,Paranthrene tabaniformis (Hym.:Scelionidae;Lep.:Sesiidae) -

Ent.Ber.Amst.49:65-68,1989.

I hope this information is useful for you. With kind regards Yours Thomas Witt

Thanks a lot.

Mansour, can you post a good image of the adult moth you are speaking of. Not an image taken off of the internet or illustrated by other researchers, as these other images are of unknown or unconfirmed location source.   Are you absolutely positive that the species you are referring to is actually Paranthrene tabaniformis ? Has any taxonomical work been done on the Sesiidae of Iran, or this particular species in the past ?  I also take tabaniformis here in my state of Louisiana, USA. And I have collected sesiids here every day of every year since 1970, so I have a bit of experience with this group. Attached is one of many of my publications on Sesiidae, this one has an image of the phenotype of Paranthrene tabaniformis that I capture here in Louisiana.

Thank you for your attention. The images were taken nearly 15 years ago.

1. The Image of males and females.

2. The image of the abdomen.

3. The Image of parasitoid eggs

4. The Image of parasitoid larvae

I hope you will be satisfied. Sincerely, M. Salehi
