Abstract
Two new species of aphid parasitoids from the Balkan Peninsula are described. Aphidius chaetosiphonis sp. n. was reared from Chaetosiphon sp. I Potentilla clusiana, while Aphidius balcanicus sp. n. was reared from Acyrthosiphon malvae I Geranium spp.associations. The taxonomic position of both species has been discussed. The Balkan Peninsula is one of the six biodiversity hotspots in Europe (Horvat et al. 1974; Krystufek & Reed 2004) which are characterized by very diverse ecosystems, combined witha high percentage of plant endemism (Turrill 1929; Horvat et al. 191 A). These factors could lead to species diversity patterns of aphids and parasitoids (Dolphin & Quicke, 2001).
