CARC ELI A ILIAC A (DIPTERA: TACHINIDAE), A SPECIFIC PARASITOID OF THE OAK PROCESSIONARY MOTH (LEPIDOPTERA: THAUMETOPOEIDAE), NEW TO GREAT BRITAIN

摘要

Carcelia iliaca (Ratzeburg) is added to the British list based on a specimen collected from Richmond Park in Surrey in 2014. Morphological features distinguishing C. iliaca from other tachinid species are presented, along with notes on its known distribution and biology. The Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COX1) DNA sequence unique to C. iliaca was characterised to provide a specific molecular tool for future identification.
