Small cabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae is the most important insect pest of the plants belonging to family Brassicaceae. In order to identify its parasitoids, sampling was made in the cauliflower fields of southern Tehran from June until October 2011. The pupae were collected from fields and then reared under controlled conditions of 27°C, 60±10% Rh and 14L:10D photoperiod until the emergence of parasitoid adults. These parasitoids were put in alcohol 75°. One parasitoid wasp specimen was collected from the pupal samples. This parasitoid was identified as Brachymeria albicrus (Klug) (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae). This species is a new host record from P. rapae and distribution record from Tehran for the fauna of Iran.Keywords

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is an important pest of cruciferous crops in Iran. The susceptibility of P. xylostella larvae to two species of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) (Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora) was examined under laboratory conditions. Leaf bioassays were conducted to evaluate the nematode's capability to reach the larvae and kill them. High larval mortality (72.6-96%) was observed in laboratory experiments. The ET50 of H. bacteriophora was higher than that of S. carpocapsae. The ET50 of entomopatpgenic nematodes, H. bacteriophora and S. carpocapsae tested ranged from 21 to 139.7 and 11.3 to 71.4 hours, respectively. The effect of both factors infective juveniles (IJs) and exposure time of 50% (ET50) on the larval mortality was significant (df = 6; P < 0.001) and (df = 2; P < 0.001), respectively. This study revealed that entomopatogenic nematodes (EPNs) have great potential that should be exploited in diamondback moth, P. xylostella management.Keywords
