Abstract

The emergence of pupal parasitoids from collected pupae of Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae) was recorded over a 2-year period. The moths and the parasitoid species Villa brunnea (Diptera: Bombylidae), Phryxe caudata (Diptera: Tachinidae), Coelichneumon rudis (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) emerged sequentially. The ecological implications of such parasitism are discussed.
