Accidental introduction in Italy of the parasitoid Spathius vulnificus Wilkinson (Hymenoptera Braconidae Doryctinae) / C. Jucker, A. Loni, M. Calzolari, S. Belokobylskij, D. Lupi. - In: REDIA. - ISSN 0370-4327. - 101:(2018 Dec), pp. 189-192. [10.19263/REDIA-101.18.25]
Abstract:
This paper reports the finding of the Hymenoptera Doryctinae Spathius vulnificus Wilkinson for the first time in
Europe. This is an idiobiont ectoparasitoid attacking woodborer larvae of some Bostrichidae (Coleoptera) species. Such
exotic parasitoid, mainly spread in the Oriental and southeastern part of the Palaeartic Region, has been intercepted in
association with the lesser auger beetle Heterobostrychus aequalis (Waterhouse) (Coleoptera, Bostrichidae), imported
from the Asian Far East in wood packaging material. This report represents an updating on the worldwide distribution of
the parasitoid.
