Parasitoids

Just over one hundred species of parasitoids in the families Aphelinidae, Eulophidae, Pteromalidae, Trichogrammatidae, Braconidae and Ichneumonidae have been recorded on 296 British mining insects.

All chalcidoid parasitoid / miner associations have been extracted from the 

Universal Chalcidoid database by Dr John Noyes. Where relevant and known this database includes synonymy, taxonomy, distribution, associates (both host plants and host insects), biology and economic references.
