    abstract = {The present study determined egg, larval and pupal parasitoids of the gypsy moth <I>Lymantria dispar</I> L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), which is an important forest pest in Turkey. High populations of the gypsy moth have been observed recently in oak forests and coniferous forests in the Lakes District of Turkey. <I>Pinus brutia</I> Ten and <I>Cedrus libani</I> A. Rich are reported for the 1st time in the world as host plants of <I>L. dispar</I>. Its parasitoid complex and impact were analyzed in a 2-years study. In larval and pupal stages of the pest, the tachinids <I>Exorista segregata</I> (Rond.), <I>Compsilura concinnata</I> Meigen, <I>Drino inconspicua</I> Meigen and <I>Pales pavida</I> Meigen, the chalcid <I>Brachymeria intermedia</I> (Nees), the torymid <I>Monodontomerus aereus</I> Walk. The braconid <I>Apanteles xanthostigma</I> (Haliday) and the egg parasitoids <I>Ooencrytus kuvanae</I> (Howard) (Hym. Encyrtidae), <I>Anastatus disparis</I> Rusch and <I>Anastatus bifasciatus</I> (Fonsc.) (Hym: Eupelmidae) were recorded. <I>O. kuvanae</I> had the greatest impact on <I>L. dispar</I> populations. <I>A. xanthostigma </I>is a new record for Turkey and also a new record for the world as a parasitoid of <I>L. dispar</I>.}
