Abstract

Species of Mastrus Förster (Ichneumonidae) attacking fruit-feeding Cydia species (Tortricidae) in gardens and stands of nut-bearing trees in the foothills and mountains of the Northern Caucasus are reported, including (1) M. ridens, (2) M. gradibundus, (3) M. rufalus,(4) M. rufobasalus, and (5) M. sordipes, from Cydia species: Cydia amplana, C. fagiglandana and C. splendana. The effectiveness of these Mastrus species as biocontrol agents of these Cydia species was studied on four  oak species and on oriental beech.
