NEW ICHNEUMONID PARASITOIDS (HYMENOPTERA: ICHNEUMONIDAE) OF THE EAST ASIAN INVASIVE SPECIES OF SAWFLY, APROCEROS LEUCOPODA (HYMENOPTERA: ARGIDAE), DEFOLIATOR OF THE FIELD ELM, ULMUS MINOR IN SOME DECIDUOUS FORESTS IN MOLDOVA (ROMANIA)

Abstract:
In this paper we present some aspects about attack and biology of Aproceros leucopoda and two parasitoid species for this defoliator pest, native in the East Asia (Japan, China and the Eastern part of Russia). In Romania this defoliator pest was observed for the first time in 2005 on Ulmus minor Mill., but its presence was published later, in 2010 (Blank et al.). We obtain by rearings two new ichneumonid parasitoids species: Itoplectis maculator (Fabricius) and Pimpla turionellae (L.), (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) for Aproceros leucopoda. Both ichneumonid species Itoplectis maculator (F.) and Pimpla turionellae (L.) are larval parasitoids of Aproceros leucopoda, but its adults emerged from the pupae of the host.
