ParasitoidsofcoccoidsweresurveyedusingmalaisetrapsattheGolcukNatural
Park (Isparta Province), Turkey, in 2009 and 2010. More than 40 species of
parasitoidswerecollected,withtwelvebeingnewrecordsforTurkey,ofwhich
five, Anagyrus descriptus sp. n., A. alienus sp. n., Aschitus golcukus sp. n.,
Charitopus bulentyasari sp. n., and Ch. ismailkaracai sp. n. (Hymenoptera:
Encyrtidae),aredescribedasnewspecies.
