Abstract
Two species of gall midges, Dasineura oleae (Angelini 1831) and Lasioptera oleicola Skuhrava 2011 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), on leaves and shoots of Olea europea L. were reared in Hatay Province, Turkey in 2007-2010. In the study as main mortality factors of the gall midges were 11 species of larval/pupal parasitoids from 5 families of Hymenoptera, Platygasteridae: Platygaster oleae Szelenyi 1940, Eupelmidae: Eupelmus urozonus Dalman 1820, Torymidae: Torymus phillyreae Ruschka 1921, Pteromalidae: Mesopolobus mediterraneus (Mayr 1903), M. diffinis (Walker 1834), M. aspilus (Walker 1835), Eulophidae: Anaprostocetus acuminatus (Ratzeburg 1848), Quadrastichus dasineurae Doganlar et al. 2009, Aprostocetus samandagus sp. new, Aprostocetus lasiopteru sp. new, Zeytinus hatayensis gen. and sp. new.
