Abstract :This research was carried out to determine the predators and parasitoids of aphid species on poplar in Konya Province during 2003-2004. As a result, 22 predator species belonging to 5 families of four orders were determined. Additionally, three samples were only identified in genus level. Among those, Trichopsomyia flavitarsis (Meigen) (Dip.: Syrphidae), Leucopis auraria Tanasijtshuk and Leucopis gallicola Tanasijtshuk (Dip.: Chamaemyiidae) were first record for the Turkish predator fauna. As aphid parasitoids; Adialytus salicaphis (Fitch) and Euaphidius cingulatus (Ruthe) from Aphidiinae (Hym.: Braco-nidae) and Aphelinus mali (Haldeman) from Aphelinidae (Hym.) were obtained. Of the aphid species, Pterocomma populeum (Kaltenbach) for E. cingulatus and Pemphigus immunis Buckton for A. mali were also firstly reported as hosts in Turkey.Keywords : Aphididae, kavak, predatör, parazitoit, Türkiye
