Abstract
Abstract Adult ichneumonids of Hyposoter placidus were reared from caterpillars of the large copper butterfly Lycaena dispar collected in NE Poland, feeding on Rumex confertus, R. hydrolapathum and R. obtusifolius. This is the first record of this parasitoid in the country. We hypothesize that H. placidus may be a factor limiting the abundance of populations of L. dispar, a widespread species but usually occurring in low numbers.
期刊介绍:
The Polish Journal of Entomology was founded in 1922 as a periodical of the Polish Entomological Society under the title Polskie Pismo Entomologiczne (subtitle Bulletin Entomologique de Pologne). The journal publishes original research papers and reviews from any entomological discipline. The Polish Journal of Entomology is sponsored by the Polish Entomological Society and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. It deals with all aspects of entomology and has no geographical limits. Four issues of the journal are published annually. It is covered by the Zoological Record, Entomological Abstracts, Biological Abstracts. Each article has its own DOI
