Abstract (2. Language): 
The importance of the damage caused by aphids in vegetable crops stimulated us to achieve, in Setif, the inventory of aphids and their parasitoids. The application of different sampling methods (trapping, hunting sight…) allowed us to find 25 aphid species with species: Myzus persicae, Aphis gossypii, Aphis fabae, Rhopalosiphum maidis , Rhopalosiphum padi, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Aphis craccivora, Nasonovia ribisnigri the most frequent, and 16 species of parasitoïds the most common are ; Aphidius ervi, Aphidius colemani, Aphidius matricariae, Aphidius rhopalosiphi, Aphidius transcaspicus, Aphidius avenae, Lysiphlebus testaceipes, Lysiphlebus confusus on vegetable crops in the region of Setif. The study also revealed that 111 tritrophic associations (parasitoid-aphid-plant) have been established.
