Abstract

In the framework of a study on citrus aphids in the North-Western of Algeria, we determined primary and secondary parasitoids on the main citrus aphid's species (Aphis spiraecola Patch, 1914 and Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877) during the first flushing period on Citrus sinensis var. Thomson in spring 2015. Among hyperparasitoids associated to A. spiraecola, we recorded the species Alloxysta brevis (Thomson, 1862) for the first time in Algeria. Studies in other regions has not found its presence yet.
