The larvae of Sphenoptera (Tropeopeltis) tappesi Marseul, 1865 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) and Osphranteria coerulescens inaurata Holzschuh, 1981 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) were collected from peach [Prunus persica (L.)

Of these 56 were S. (T.) tappesi and 5 were O. coerulescens inaurata larvae. 20 Atanycolus ivanowi (Kokujev, 1898) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were obtained from S. (T.) tappesi larvae and 1 was obtained from O. coerulescens inaurata larvae. S. (T.) tappesi and O. coerulescens inaurata were recorded as two new hosts of A. ivanowi from Turkey.
