Egg parasitoids are a group of natural enemies that reduce the number of harmful insects in nature, and are also used in environmentally acceptable pest control systems in crop production. In the article, we present four species of parasitoid wasps from the family Scelionidae, namely the species Trissolcus scutellaris, Trissolcus viktorovi, Trissolcus festivae and Telenomus chloropus, which belong to egg parasitoids of stink bugs (Pentatomidae). In Slovenia, we confirmed the first three species as natural enemies of the cabbage bug (Eurydema ventralis Kolenati, 1846), and the last species as an egg parasitoid of the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys Stål, 1855). None of the mentioned species of natural enemies is yet listed in the Positive List of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO), so in Slovenia we cannot include them in the List of native species of organisms for biological control, which would allow their use in inoculative biological control in outdoor agricultural production. The greater importance of the mentioned egg parasitoids in the suppression of economically harmful stink bugs in the context of conservation biological control can be influenced by using other environmentally acceptable methods of controlling harmful organisms.
