Remarks

Based on molecular and morphological studies, this species was separated from Aphidius colemani ( Tomanović et al. 2014) . All host records of Aphidius colemani Viereck, 1912 in Iran ( Barahoei et al. 2014; Farahani et al. 2016) referring to Aphidius platensis . Other records of Aphidius colemani from the Western Asia and records of Aphidius transcaspicus Telenga from the aphids other than Hyalopterus spp. most probably refer to Aphidius platensis .
