Abstract

Abstract The biology of Mimumesa littoralis was studied on sandy soil (Sierakowo) and wasteland with hard substrate (Kowalewo Pomorskie) in northern Poland. The study presents information on the bionomics of the rare digger wasp Mimumesa littoralis (Bondroit,1934). Females of Mimumesa littoralis nested both on sandy soil and wasteland with hard substrate. Their nests consisted of 2–3 cells. One cell contained up to 11 prey items belonging to species from five genera: Megadelphax spp., Dicranotropis hamata, Javesella spp., Laodelphax striatella, Javesella pellucida (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), and Streptanus sp. (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), which had not been previously reported in the literature. The frequency with which the female brought prey to the nest varied from 12 to 21 min. In addition, the kleptoparasite Senotainia conica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) was found in the nest. Adult individuals were observed feeding on the flowers of Pimpinella sp.

波兰的Mimumesa littoralis（Bondroit，1934）（膜翅目，鞘翅目）的筑巢生物学

摘要在波兰北部的沙质土壤（Sierakowo）和有硬质基质的荒地（Kowalewo Pomorskie）上研究了Mimumesa littoralis的生物学特性。该研究提供了关于稀有挖掘蜂Mimumesa littoralis的生物学信息（Bondroit，1934）。Mimumesa littoralis的雌性在沙质土壤和坚硬基质的荒地上筑巢。它们的巢由2-3个细胞组成。一个细胞包含多达11个猎物，属于五个属的物种：巨角藻属、滨棘豆属、Javesella属、条纹灰蝶属、透明灰蝶属（半翅目：灰蝶科）和Streptanus属（半翅目：蝉科），这在文献中以前没有报道过。雌性将猎物带到巢穴的频率从12分钟到21分钟不等。此外，在巢穴中发现了盗窃寄生虫锥虫（Diptera：Sarcophagidae）。观察到成年个体以Pimpinella sp.的花朵为食。

期刊介绍： The European Zoological Journal (previously Italian Journal of Zoology) is an open access journal devoted to the study of all aspects of basic, comparative and applied protozoan and animal biology at molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organismal, population, and community-ecosystem level. Papers covering multiple levels of organization and integrative approaches to study animal form, function, development, ecology, evolution and systematics are welcome. First established in 1930 under the name of Il Bollettino di Zoologia, the journal now has an international focus, reflected through its global editorial board, and wide author and readership.
