Abstract
In this paper first records of five ichneumon wasp species in the Albanian fauna with annotations on distribution, biology and host records are presented.
Highlights
The second author collected some ichneumon wasp specimens on an entomological field trip in Albania and donated them to the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM)
The earliest records from Albania were summarized by Kolarov (1992), listing 38 species found in the country. 79 species were listed by Yu et al (2012) which is undoubtedly a mass underestimation of the real species richness of the country
In this study we report the first records of five ichneumon wasp species in the Albanian fauna with annotations on distribution, biology and host records
Summary
The second author collected some ichneumon wasp specimens on an entomological field trip in Albania and donated them to the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM). The earliest records from Albania were summarized by Kolarov (1992), listing 38 species found in the country. The Bulgarian ichneumon wasp fauna is the best studied among the Balkan countries with 1916 species recorded so far (Yu et al 2012). In this study we report the first records of five ichneumon wasp species in the Albanian fauna with annotations on distribution, biology and host records.
