ABSTRACT. The assemblage of hymenopteran parasitoids of larvae and pupae of leaf blotch miner moth Acrocercops brongniardella (Fabricius, 1798) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) developing on the oak (Quercus robur) was studied in the Ufa City during 2023. Ten species of A. brongniardella parasitoids, Sympiesis sericeicornis, Pediobius cassidae, P. pyrgo, P. saulius, Aprostocetus ermolaevi sp.n., Baryscapus pospelovi, Minotetrastichus frontalis, Oomyzus sp. (Eulophidae), Pteromalus semotus (Pteromalidae), and Pholetesor circumscriptus (Braconidae) were identified. Eight species of them, Pediobius cassidae, P. pyrgo, P. saulius, Aprostocetus ermolaevi, Baryscapus pospelovi, Oomyzus sp., Pteromalus semotus and Pholetesor circumscriptus were recorded as the parasitoids of the leaf blotch miner moth for the first time. One species, Aprostocetus ermolaevi sp.n. was described as new for science from the area of Ufa City. The mortality of A. brongniardella preimaginal stages from parasitoids was 23.9%.
KEY WORDS: Chalcidoidea, Ichneumonoidea, Aprostocetus ermolaevi, parasitoids, rate of parasitism.
