Parasitoids of Heterogynis Rambur (Lepidoptera: Zygaenoidea, Heterogynidae)

Paper description: All presented host and parasitoid species are already known from the relevant literature, and most host-parasitoid associations. We present two new parasitoids Brachymeria inermis and Diplazon laetatorius associated with Heterogynis zikici. This work is a compilation of all available data and new findings in Europe for the species of the family Heterogynidae and their parasitoids. Abstract: Nine parasitoids of the moth genus Heterogynis are presented: six species of Hymenoptera from the families Chalcididae, Eulophidae and Ichneumonidae ( Agrothereutes hospes (Tschek), Baryscapus endemus (Walker), Brachymeria inermis (Fonscolombe), Diplazon laetatorius (F.), Itoplectis maculator (F.) and Trichomalopsis heterogynidis Graham), and three Diptera, family Tachinidae ( Compsilura concinnata (Meigen), Exorista segregata (Rondani) and Phryxe hirta (Bigot)). Two of these species, Trichomalopsis heterogynidis and Phryxe hirta , are oligophagous parasitoids specialized on the genus Heterogynis . We also identified two newly recorded parasitoids of Heterogynis : Brachymeria inermis (Chalcididae) and Diplazon laetatorius (Ichneumonidae). https://doi.org/10.2298/ABS180709039Z Received: July 9, 2018; Revised: August 28, 2018; Accepted: August 31, 2018; Published online: September 26, 2018 How to cite this article: Žikic V, Stankovic SS, Tschorsnig H, Leon YM, de Freina JJ.
