Apulia: Laccone 1978

Distribution.

Palaearctic species, widespread in Europe and in the former Soviet Union up to the east coast.

Host range.

Yu (1997-2012) provides a list of 33 species of Lepidopteran hosts including Tortricidae, Gelechiidae, Pterophoridae, Coleophoridae, Pyralidae and other families, plus two erroneous records: one species of Buprestidae and one of Curculionidae (Coleoptera). Among the hosts of Apanteles albipennis is also recorded Sparganothis pilleriana (Ruschka and Fulmek 1915).

Ecological role.

Specimens of this species were rarely obtained from EGVM larvae of first and second generation collected on vine in Apulia (Laccone 1978).
