Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) (RWA), is a serious pest of several small grain cereals in many countries. A survey of RWA infesting wheat and barley in northern Syria, and its associated natural enemies, was conducted at ICARDA's main research station near Tel Hadya, Syria. A wide range of predatory insects and parasites, including Coccinellidae, Syrphidae, Chamaemyiidae, and Braconidae were observed. In addition a chalcidoid hyperparasite of Diaeretiella rapae (M'Intosh) was observed. Natural enemies may exert an important regulatory role on RWA populations on wheat and barley
