Sarcophagidae - Cleptoparasites in crabronid wasp nests and on other insects.
Amobia signata (Meigen) - Develops in nests of sphecid wasps, mainly wood-nesting species,
but also nests of potter wasps and solitary bees.
Macronychia polyodon (Meigen)* - RDB3. Specialist parasite of deadwood-nesting sphecid
wasps.
Macronychia striginervis (Zetterstedt) - Nationally Scarce. Specialist parasite of deadwoodnesting
sphecid wasps.
Oebalia cylindrica (Fallén) - Associated with wasps such as Crossocerus.
Oebalia minuta (Fallén) =rufitarsis (Meigen)
Tachinidae - All tachinids are parasitoids, their larvae developing within other arthropods,
predominantly other insects. The majority attack Lepidoptera larvae. Admontia are
specialist parasitoids of Tipulidae larvae.
Billaea irrorata (Meigen) - A specialist parasitoid on Saperda populnea beetle larvae in
timber galls; may also use other Cerambycidae or clearwing moth larvae as hosts.
Over-winters as a larva within the host, killing it in the spring and pupating inside the
gallery. Most localities are woodlands. Known from S. England & Edinburgh.
Admontia blanda (Fallén) - Only host records are from Continent and include Tipula
hortorum. First instar larva very sensitive to drying out and has little mobility, so egg
probably laid directly on the host in moist conditions. Widespread across Britain.
Admontia maculisquama (Zetterstedt) - Parasitic on crane fly larvae in deadwood. Tipula
irrorata, T. meigeni and T. lunata. Widespread across Britain.
Admontia seria (Meigen) - RDB2. Associated with ancient semi-natural woodlands in
Southern England, where a parasitoid on saproxylic crane flies: Ctenophora
bimaculata, Tipula flavolineata and T. irrorata.
Xylotachina diluta (Meigen) - RDB1. Specific parasitoid on goat moth larvae in timber.
Pupation occurs in host gallery. Rare; southern England.
Elodia ambulatoria (Meigen) - RDB3. Specialised parasitoid of Tineid moth larvae, mainly
Morophaga choragella, developing in bracket fungi. S & SE England.
Loewia phaeoptera (Meigen) - Parasitic on centipedes in deadwood.
Phytomyptera cingulata (Robineau-Desvoidy) - Chiefly parasitic on microlepidoptera larvae
in rotting wood, fungi or lichens. Widely across Britain.
Leskia aurea (Fallén) - RDB1. Eggs laid on bark of trees infested with wood-boring
clearwing moth larvae, first instar larva searches for host gallery. Over-winters as
second instar in the host, pupating in host gallery. Recorded near Romsey, Hants in
1928.
Triarthria setipennis (Fallén)* - Parasitic on earwigs in deadwood.
Siphonaptera – Fleas
Ischnopsyllus elongatus (Curtis) - A flea on noctules.
Ischnopsyllus intermedius (Rothschild) - A flea on serotine, noctule & Leisler's bats.
Nycteridopsylla eusarca Dampf - A flea of noctule.
