Variation in sizes of parasitoids Itoplectis maculator F. (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) were studied in respect to their genetic variation as well as to the genetic variations in their host insect ( Tortrix viridana L.) pupae and their host plant ( Quercus pubescens Willd). The data obtained have shown that the interactions between genotypes of parasitoids and their host insects contribute up to 49%, and interaction between genotypes of parasitoids and oaks contributes up to 28% to the total vari
