Oviposition behaviour of four ant parasitoids (Hymenoptera Braconidae Euphorinae Neoneurini and Ichneumonidae Hybrizontinae) with the description of three new European species

摘要

The oviposition behaviour of four ant parasitoids was observed and filmed for the first time. The movies are available from YouTube (search for Elasmosoma, Hybrizon, Kollasmosoma and Neoneurus). Two of the observed species (Neoneurus vesculus >sp. n. and Kollasmosoma sentum >sp. n.) are new to science. A third species (Neoneurus recticalcar >sp. n.) is described from Slovakia and Norway. Keys to the Palaearctic species of the genera Neoneurus and Kollasmosoma are added.
