In this study, two braconid species were reared on leaf miners collected from the vicinity of Shahin Dezh, West Azerbaijan province (northwest of Iran). Apanteles corvinus Reinhard was reared on Leucoptera malifoliella (Costa) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetidae) on apple and Protapanteles liparidis (Bouchй) was reared on Phyllonorycter populifoliella (Treitschke) on Populus. This is the first report of A. corvinus from Iran and of the new trophic association of P. liparidis with poplar leaf miner, P. populifoliella
