Author Satar, A. text Linzer biologische Beiträge 2009 2009-08-30 41 1 639 672 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.5276249 0253-116X 5276249 Parasarcophaga jakobsoni ROHDENDORF 1937 M a t e r i a l: Mazandaran province : Joibar, 13, September 2002 . In this paper a diverse fauna of several predators and parasitoids were collected as the natural enemies of Iranian grasshoppers. In addition to this paper, many natural enemies including, Blaesoxipha spp. (Dip.: Sarcophagidae ), Stenopogon spp. (Dip.: Asilidae ), Mylabris spp. (Col.: Meloidae ), Sphex spp. (Hym.: Sphecidae ), Mantis sp. (Mantodea), Cataglyphis spp. ( Formicidae ), Scelio flavibarbis (Hym.: Scelionidae ), Podapolipus grissi and Leptus sp. (Acari) and Agriope spp. (Aranei) were recorded by KHAJEHZADEH (2004) . Also, four parasitic mites including, Leptus fathipeuri HAITLINGER & SABOORI, L. zhangi SABOORI & ATAMEHR, L. esmailii SABOORI & OSTOVAN and Keramotrombium talebii were reported by KARIMI IRAVANLOU & SABOORI (2000) and KARIMI IRAVANLOU & KAMALI (2000) as the parasites of Acrididae . Therefore, the populations of Orthoptera in Iranian rice fields are pressured severely by diverse natural enemies and the grasshoppers generally are not the key pests of rice fields.
