On the egg parasitoids of Aproceros leucopoda (Hymenoptera: Argidae), an invasive pest species from Japan
Journal Title: Animal Biology & Animal Husbandry - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper we present the parasitic Hymenoptera reared from Aproceros leucopoda Takeuchi, 1939 eggs and also we give notes regarding the different parasitoids of this invasive saw fly. Asecodes (Teleopterus) erxias (Walker, 1848) was reared for the first time from the eggs of Aproceros leucopoda. From unidentified eggs on Ulmus minor we also reared Anastatus bifasciatus (Geoffroy, 1785). From pupae of A. leucopodae emerged also few specimens of an ichneumonid wasp.
