Infected common eryngo samples were collected from cereal and legume growing areas and were taken to the laboratory to culture. Lasioptera eryngii adults were obtained from the cultured common eryngo samples. This is the first record of L. eryngii for anliurfa province and the second record for Turkey. As a result of our study it was determined that L. eryngii suppressed the development and distribution of E. campestre, an important weed of the crops. It inhibits the growth and development of generative parts of this host plant and prevents its spread to the surroundings areas. This fact is of great importance regarding the biological control of the weed. Pseudotorymus sapphyrinus (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) was reared from galls of L. eryngii on E. campestre. It is a new host of this parasitoid and the second record of occurrence of P. sapphyrinus from Turkey.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEryngium CampestreLasioptera EryngiiPseudotorymus SapphyrinusTurkeyArticle58269272WOS:000416361400050N/A
