Parasitoids associated with Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) and Malacosoma neustria (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) in Greece and comparative analysis of their parasitoid spectrums in Europe

摘要

AbstractThe parasitoids of European gypsy mothLymantria d. dispar(L.) and Lackey mothMalacosoma n. neustria(L.) in Greece were investigated. In total, twelve parasitoid species emerged from different larval instars of both species. Eight primary parasitoid species were recorded: three from the family Braconidae (Hymenoptera) and five from the family Tachinidae (Diptera). Four hyperparasitoid species ofCotesia neustriae(Tobias) andGlyptapanteles porthetriae(Muesebeck) (Braconidae) were reared belonging to the families Eurytomidae, Ichneumonidae and Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera). For the first time,Lysibia nana(Gravenhorst) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is reported as a hyperparasitoid ofC. neustriaeandP. porthetriae.Our results are compared with the results of an exhausting and critical review of the literature on parasitoids ofL. disparandM. neustriain Europe. The parasitoid spectrums ofL. disparandM. neustriaare compared and the parasitoid species in common are listed. According to literature 169 parasitoid species were associated with the investigated moths; 76 withL. disparand 52 withM. neustriaspecies belong only to their spectrums, respectively and only 41 parasitoid species are shared by both species.]]>
