Abstract
The utilisation status of fungal and vascular plants as hosts for larvae of Aenetus virescens is presented. Larvae are recorded from the fruiting bodies of 8 wood-inhabiting fungi. Vascular plants are placed into categories of “terminal host”, “marginal host”, and “status unknown”. The evolution of this host range is given an orthogenetic interpretation in relation to the origin and dispersal of angiosperms.
