First records of the genera Histeromerus Wesmael (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Histeromerinae) and Ecclitura Kokujev (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Euphorinae) in Italy

Braconinae parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) emerged from larvae of Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) feeding on Daphne gnidium L

Braconadmotus Papp, 2000, and three species of the genus Habrobracon Ashmead, 1895, Habrobraconconcolorans (Marshall, 1900), Habrobraconhebetor (Say, 1836) and Habrobraconpillerianae Fischer, 1980, were obtained from the larvae of Lobesiabotrana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) feeding on Daphnegnidium Linnaeus, 1753 (Thymelaeaceae) in the natural reserve of Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli (Pisa-Central Italy). Braconadmotus, Habrobraconconcolorans and Habrobraconpillerianae were found for the first time to be associated with Lobesiabotrana, while Habrobraconhebetor was reared for the first time from the larvae of Cryptoblabesgnidiella (Millière, 1867) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae, Phycitinae) that was found on the same host plant. Braconadmotus and Habrobraconpillerianae are new to the fauna of Italy and Western Europe. A key is proposed for the determination of Habrobracon species reared from Lobesiabotrana and related Palaearctic species of this genus. Habrobraconlineatellae Fisher, 1968 is considered as a valid species.
