Abstract

In this second review of the parasitoids recorded on Lobesia botrana (EGVM) in Italy, an updated list and summary of the information available on 14 taxa of Ichneumonidae belonging to the subfamilies Anomaloninae and Campopleginae are provided. For each taxon, geographic distributions, host ranges, ecological role in viticulture and/or in other crops, and taxonomy are provided and discussed. For the most interesting species, tables summarizing the parasitization rates recorded in the field on EGVM or other lepidopteran pests are given. Identification mistakes and wrong synonymies that have generated great confusion and often made geographic distributions and host ranges unreliable are highlighted. A list of four Anomaloninae and 27 Campopleginae recorded on EGVM in Europe is also provided. Among the species examined, Campoplex capitator Aubert is the only potential candidate for biological control of EGVM.

Highlights

  • A general overview of the parasitoids of Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (European grapevine moth, EGVM) recorded in Italy, including Diptera Tachinidae and Hymenoptera Braconidae, has been recently published (Scaramozzino et al 2017a)

  • In this second review of the parasitoids recorded on Lobesia botrana (EGVM) in Italy, an updated list and summary of the information available on 14 taxa of Ichneumonidae belonging to the subfamilies Anomaloninae and Campopleginae are provided

  • From late 1800s to date, 120 ichneumonid species belonging to 51 distinct genera and ten subfamilies were reported on EGVM (Stellwaag 1928, Thompson 1946, Hoffmann and Michl 2003, Yu et al 2012)

Summary

Introduction

A general overview of the parasitoids of Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (European grapevine moth, EGVM) recorded in Italy, including Diptera Tachinidae and Hymenoptera Braconidae, has been recently published (Scaramozzino et al 2017a). This second contribution deals with two subfamilies of Ichneumonidae, the Anomaloninae and Campopleginae
