At the end of the study, the species were identified as sun adult parasites; Eliozeta helluo (Fabricius), Phasia subcoleopterata (Linnaeus), Ectophasia oblonga (Robineau-Desvoidy) and Elomya lateralis (Meigen) (Tachinidae: Diptera). E. helluo is the most common species of these species. The average parasitization rates in the Hububat fields were identified as 9.4-15.0 per cent in Adyaman in 2005-2006 respectively, 5.0-5.4 per cent in Batman, 6.4-5.7 per cent in Diyarbakır, 9.3-11.2 per cent in Mardin, 12.6-7.8 per cent in Siirt, 12.2-7.3 per cent in Shanlıurfa and 2.1 per cent in the province of Şırnak. The rates of parasitization were recorded at 5.2% in Karacadağ in 2004, 2005, 2006 respectively, 3.3% and 4.8% in Nemrut at 6.0%, 5.9% and 6.8% respectively.
