While in South Tyrol <i>C. ohridella</i> was introduced from the North (North Tyrol), the introduction into the Trentino occured from the South (Verona).</p><p>At present the attacks in Trentino province are preponderantly low (resulting heavy only in the city of Trento and in Riva del Garda) and limited to altitudes ranging from 70 to 700 in. In South Tyrol, attacks are mainly heavy in altitudes ranging from 250 to 900/950 m, while they are low in the increasingly affected higher altitudes of 1,000 to 1,230 m. Numeric attack parameters are given to show attack intensities.</p><p>The number of generations per year depends on the respective climatic conditions: in lower-altitudes, usually three generations develop in a year, but in higher altitudes (800 to 1,100 m) only two generations; in the climatically favoured area around the Lake Garda a (partial) fourth generation appears possible.</p><p>The question of host plants (<i>Aesculus</i> sp., <i>Acer</i> sp.) and the larval parasitism of <i>C. ohridella</i> is discussed. The parasitism of the larvae, principally by Eulophidae (Hym., Chalcidoidea), was ascertained already in the first years of attack: In South Tyrol, 16 species of parasitoids appeared, and 8 in the Trentino province, but only two species were dominant: <i>Minotetrastichus</i> sp. and <i>Pnigalio</i> sp. The level of parasitism reached was low, comparable to other Central European countries.</p>","PeriodicalId":100103,"journal":{"name":"Anzeiger für Sch?dlingskunde","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1046/j.1439-0280.2000.00025.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71979098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
