Parasitoid complex of Cameraria ohridella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in Serbia
Phytoparasitica 32 (2), 132-140
Abstract: Fourteen species in two families of the order Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae (1 sp.) and Eulophidae (13 spp.), were recorded during the study of Cameraria ohridella parasitoids at eight localities in Serbia. Among the observed parasitoids, the most significant species were Minotetrastichus frontalis, Pediobius saulius, Pnigalio agraules and Closterocerus trifasciatus. In addition, at some localities the species Minotetrastichus platanellus and Cirrospilus talitzkii were also significant. The parasitoids do not have a significant effect on the abundance of C. ohridella because in the majority of study samples parasitism levels did not exceed 20%.
