Abstract

A recently described species of Pteromalidae, Anisopteromalus quinarius (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) parasitizing Lasioderma serricorne (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), a pest of stored products, has been found for the first time in Tunisia. The affinities of the new species along with the related species are discussed in this paper.

Entomology and Applied Science Letters is an international double-blind peer reviewed publication which publishes scientific research & review articles related to insects that contain information of interest to a wider audience, e.g. papers bearing on the theoretical, genetic, agricultural, medical and biodiversity issues. Emphasis is also placed on the selection of comprehensive, revisionary or integrated systematics studies of broader biological or zoogeographical relevance. In addition to full-length research articles and reviews, the journal publishes interpretive articles in a Forum section, Short Communications, and Letters to the Editor. The journal publishes reports on all phases of medical entomology and medical acarology, including the systematics and biology of insects, acarines, and other arthropods of public health and veterinary significance.
