Extract

Members of the genus Eurytoma Illiger show a great diversity of feeding habits. There are approximately 90 species or subspecies listed in the synoptic catalogue of the Hymenoptera (Muesebeck et al., 1951) and the first supplement to this catalogue (Krombein et al., 1958), and about 40 per cent of these have been listed with entomophagous hosts. The habitats of another 28 species are listed as galls and the lack of information on their hosts is made clear by Bugbee (1951) who states, “It should be clearly understood that where hosts are given in this paper, all that is indicated is that the parasites were bred or emerged from that particular host gall.” Seven species are listed as phytophagous on seeds and berries and the remainder have no specified hosts.
