Sardinia: Delrio et al. 1987

Host range.

Idiobiont larval ectophagous and gregarious parasitoid predominantly of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera.

Ecological role.

In Sardinia vineyards Delrio et al. (1987) obtained by Lobesia botrana an unidentified species of Habrobracon which, along with other species (Elachertus affinis Masi, Agathis sp. and Chelonus sp.), emerged from 10-12% of the first generation larvae and from 5% of second and third generation larvae. The genus Habrobracon Ashmead, 1895 is also used in synonymy with Bracon Fabricius, 1804, in the Fauna Europaea, where nearly 250 species of this genus in Europe are listed.
