Aphidiid Wasps (Hymenoptera, Aphidiidae) Parasitizing Aphids on Herbaceous Legumes (Fabaceae) in the Central Wood-and-Steppe Zone of Ukraine

Species composition and host associations of the aphidiid wasps infesting aphids in Kyiv, Cherkasy, Poltava and Kirovohrad Regions of the Central Wood-and-Steppe Zone of Ukraine were studied during 2010–2011, mainly on meadows. Nine species of aphids were found on 36 plant species, of them 7 species...

Description
Summary:Species composition and host associations of the aphidiid wasps infesting aphids in Kyiv, Cherkasy, Poltava and Kirovohrad Regions of the Central Wood-and-Steppe Zone of Ukraine were studied during 2010–2011, mainly on meadows. Nine species of aphids were found on 36 plant species, of them 7 species were infested by aphidiids. Six species of parasites were reared: Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall), L. confusus Tremblay et Eady, L. fritzmuelleri Mackauer, Lipolexis gracilis Fцrster, Binodoxys acalephae (Marshall), B. angelicae (Haliday). The most widespread species were L. fabarum and L. confusus. The rate of aphids colony infestation according to weather conditions and association with host plants are discussed. An illustrated key to the found species is given. Установлены видовой состав и трофические связи афидиид (паразитов тлей) на травянистых бобовых растениях в Центральной Лесостепи Украины на территории Киевской, Черкасской, Полтавской и Кировоградской областей. Материал собран в 2010–2011 гг. в основном на луговой растительности. На 36 видах растений было выявлено 9 видов тлей, 7 из которых были заражены афидиидами. Всего было выведено 6 видов паразитов: Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall), L. confusus Tremblay et Eady, L. fritzmuelleri Mackauer, Lipolexis gracilis Fцrster, Binodoxys acalephae (Marshall), B. Angelicae (Haliday). Наиболее массовыми видами оказались L. fabarum и L. confusus. Обсуждается доля зараженности колоний тлей в зависимости от погодных условий и приуроченности к кормовым растениям. Приведена таблица для определения видов выявленных афидиид.
