| Abstract |
In this article we provide a short overview of parasitoid wasps with caddisflies (Trichoptera) as a host in the Belgium and The Netherlands. One ichneumonid wasp (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), Agriotypus armatus Curtis, 1832, which is confirmed for the Netherlands, has rearing records on aquatic species such as Silo pallipes (Fabricius, 1781) and Silo piceus (Brauer, 1857) in both Belgium and the Netherlands. In the Netherlands additional rearing records are known from Silo nigricornis (Pictet, 1834) and Goera pilosa (Fabricius, 1775). Another ichneumonid wasp related to aquatic larvae, Theroscopus megacentrus (Schiodte, 1839), is known from the Netherlands and associated with Limnephilus spp. Two other ichneumonid wasps and one braconid wasp (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) are connected with the terrestrial larvae of Enoicyla pusilla (Burmeister, 1839): Diadegma trichopterorum Horstmann, 2004, Theroscopus trifasciatus Förster, 1850 and Apanteles gielisi Van Achterberg, 2002. Of these three, only Theroscopus trifasciatus has already been reported In Belgium. |
