New Host and Country Records for European Tachinidae (Diptera) © Entomologica Fennica. 6 September 2007 New host and country records for European Tachinidae (Diptera) Petr Mückstein, Hans-Peter Tschorsnig, Jaromír Vaòhara* & Veronika Michalková Mückstein, P., Tschorsnig, H.-P., Vaòhara, J. & Michalková, V. 2007: New host and country records for European Tachinidae (Diptera). Entomol. Fennica 18: 179183. The paper presents host records for 17 species of Tachinidae (of subfamilies Exoristinae and Tachininae) from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Cro- atia, Macedonia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Bulgaria. New parasitoid-host cou- ples are Exorista larvarum Melanchra pisi; Exorista segregata Catocala nymphaea; Sturmia bella Hadena compta; Spallanzania multisetosa Cycnia sordida (first host record); Tachina praeceps Cucullia bubaceki;andBithia modesta Bembecia megillaeformis. New country records of tachinid species Rhacodinella apicata from the Czech Republic, Masicera pavoniae from Mace- donia and Bithia demotica from Portugal are presented. P.

Supposedly they were either erroneously determinated or incorrect noted from the region under consideration since Eversmann 's work. 289 species are recorded from the re­ gion in addition to Eversmann 's list. This paper is the fifth in a series of publications1 dealing with the composition of the pres­ ent-day fauna of noctuid-moths in the Middle Volga and the south-western Cisurals. This re­ gion comprises the administrative divisions of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Uljanovsk, Orenburg, Uralsk and Atyraus (= Gurjev) Districts, together with Tataria and Bash­ kiria.

Résumé : Les études de phylogénie moléculaire sur les Lépidoptères Rhopalocères et Zygènes sont de plus en plus nombreuses ces dernières années modifiant la systématique et la taxinomie de ces deux groupes. Une mise à jour complète est réalisée dans ce travail. Un cadre décisionnel a été élaboré pour les niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifique avec une approche intégrative de la taxinomie. Ce cadre intégre notamment un aspect biogéographique en tenant compte des zones-refuges potentielles pour les espèces au cours du dernier maximum glaciaire. Cette démarche permet d’avoir une approche homogène pour le classement des taxa aux niveaux spécifiques et infra-spécifiques. Les conséquences pour l’acquisition des données dans le cadre d’un inventaire national sont développées.

  • In Vitro Rearing of the Tachinid Parasitoid Exorista Larvarum with Exclusion of the Host Insect for More Than One Generation
    Bulletin of Insectology 61 (2): 333-336, 2008 ISSN 1721-8861 In vitro rearing of the tachinid parasitoid Exorista larvarum with exclusion of the host insect for more than one generation Elisa MARCHETTI, Piero BARONIO, Maria Luisa DINDO Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Agroambientali - Entomologia, Università di Bologna, Italy Abstract We tested the possibility to eliminate the host insect from the line of production of Exorista larvarum (L.), a larval parasitoid of Lepidoptera, for more than one generation. Galleria mellonella (L.) larvae or a plastic sheet were provided as oviposition sub- strates either to parental or 1st generation females. The eggs/female laid in 45 min were dramatically fewer on the plastic sheet compared to host larvae and decreased from the parental to the 1st generation. Both the 1st and 2nd generation eggs (respectively laid by parental and 1st generation females) were removed from the oviposition substrates (host larvae or plastic sheet) and placed on a skimmed milk-based artificial medium. The percentages of hatched eggs were not significantly affected by the oviposition substrate, but the generation effect was significant and fewer eggs hatched in the 2nd than in the 1st generation. The percentages of puparia and adults were not significantly influenced either by the oviposition substrate or generation. All the 2nd generation adults obtained from eggs laid on the plastic sheet died 1-2 days after emergence, before the females oviposited, whereas the 2nd genera- tion adults obtained from eggs removed from the host integument survived. After mating, the females laid eggs on G. mellonella larvae. The results confirmed that, for one generation, the out-of-host eggs are competitive with those removed from G.

Entomol. Fennica 29: 8696. Pseudogonalos hahnii is the only known species of Trigonalidae in Europe. It is a hyperparasitoid of lepidopteran larvae via ichneumonid primary parasitoids. Possibly, it has also been reared from a symphytan larva. We report the species for the first time from Estonia, Lithuania and Russian Fennoscandia, and list all known observations from Finland and Latvia. An overview of the biology of the species is presented with a list of all known host records. S. Väänänen, Vantaa, Finland; E-mail: [email protected] J.

  • Acceptance and Suitability of the Box Tree Moth Cydalima Perspectalis As Host for the Tachinid Parasitoid Exorista Larvarum
    Bulletin of Insectology 72 (1): 150-160, 2019 ISSN 1721-8861 eISSN 2283-0332 Acceptance and suitability of the box tree moth Cydalima perspectalis as host for the tachinid parasitoid Exorista larvarum Antonio MARTINI, Cinzia DI VITANTONIO, Maria Luisa DINDO Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Agro-Alimentari (DISTAL), Università di Bologna, Italy Abstract A laboratory bioassay and anatomical and histological studies were conducted to evaluate the acceptance and suitability of an ex- otic insect, the box tree moth Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera Crambidae), as host for the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) (Diptera Tachinidae). The factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) (Lepidoptera Pyralidae) was maintained as con- trol. In the bioassay, C. perspectalis and G. mellonella mature larvae were separately exposed for 3 hours to E. larvarum mated females. Box tree moth larvae were accepted by E. larvarum females, but a lower number of eggs were laid on them than on G. mellonella. Most eggs hatched, as also shown in the anatomical and histological studies, but no puparia formed in any accepted C. perspectalis larva. Two out of six first instar E. larvarum larvae penetrated the body of a box tree moth larva and were encap- sulated. The encapsulation response turned into the formation of the respiratory funnel by two parasitoid larvae, similarly to what happens in G. mellonella. The results obtained in this study showed that the exotic species was unsuitable as host for E. larvarum. The mortality following the parasitoid larval activity (independently of successful parasitization) was, however, not significantly different between C. perspectalis and G. mellonella. The overall results suggest that the mortality of C.
