APETHYMUS FILIFORMIS (HYMENOPTERA: TENTHREDINIDAE), NEW HOST FOR FIVE PARASITOID SPECIES (HYMENOPTERA: BRACONIDAE, ICHNEUMONIDAE)
RAOUL CONSTANTINEANU*, CAMIL ȘTEFAN LUNGU-CONSTANTINEANU
Abstract:
The paper presents some aspects about the attack and biology of Apethymus filiformis (Klug.), a non-indigenous defoliator pest of the sessile oak forest stands, Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., 1784. It was recorded for the first time in Romania in 1999, but misidentified as Apethymus abdominalis Lep., a synonim of A. cereus Klug., an accepted species, but not present in the Romanian fauna. We established five new host - parasitoid relationships. In the laboratory we obtained from Apethymus filiformis larvae, by rearings, five new ichneumonoid parasitoid species: Charmon extensor (Linnaeus) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Charmontinae), Temelucha ophtalmica (Holmgren) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cremastinae), Gelis cinctus (Linnaeus) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cryptinae), Diplazon laetatorius (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Diplazontinae), and Phytodietus ornatus (Desvignes) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tryphoninae).
