Abstract:From 1990 to 2023,through the collection of forestry pests for breeding,successive surveys and light trapping,a total of 115 species of parasitic natural enemies,belonging to four insect orders and 20 families,were recorded in Shanghe County,with the most species in Ichneumonidae,Braconidae,Eulophidae,and Dryinidae of Hymenoptera,and three virus species in one family.Two new genera,nine new species,six newly recorded species in China and seven newly recorded species in Shandong during 1998 to 2023.In the present paper,we reported Townesilitus sp.as a newly recorded genus and species in Shandong,and Acropimpla pictipes(Gravenhorst)as a newly recorded species in Shandong.Among those natural enemies,Celata populus had a strong control effect on Fenusella taianensis,MisiGV-SD and Telenomus sp.a strong control effect on Micromelalopha sieversi.Cotesia gregalis,Pimpla disparis and Exorista spp.have a high parasitism rate on Hyphantria cunea.Other natural enemies played an important role in controlling general pests,maintaining biodiversity,and preserving ecological balance.
