Host. Subadult
Clubiona leucaspis
♀ (DNA-voucher CK519). The spider remains allowed a genus level identification only. Species identification was achieved by entering our 564 bp long host spider COI sequence into the BOLD identification system (BIS). A search in the database “All Barcode Records on BOLD with a minimum sequence length of 500 bp” (http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/IDS_OpenIdEngine) (
17.01.2013
) retrieved 99.82% similarity with
C. leucaspis
from
Italy
(BOLD sample IDs: RMNH.ARA.16237 & RMNH.ARA.16190) and 98.91% similarity with
C. leucaspis
from
Germany
(BOLD sample IDs: BC ZSM ARA 0 0 264 & BC ZSM ARA 00265), respectively. The second closest taxon,
Clubiona comta
C.L. Koch
has a similarity of 93.26% only.
Parasitoid.
Ogcodes reginae
♀ (DNA-voucher CK518).
Hélène
Dumas spotted the
Acroceridae
pupa on
22.VI.2011
on a leaf of an
Eleagnus
Linnaeus
plant in her garden, about
1.5 m
above the ground. She collected the pupa together with two curled leaves that contained the spider remains. The fly emerged on
30.VI.2011
and was not very active, only walking a few steps in the rearing box.
