Entedon ergias Walker - Has been reared from borings of the bark beetle Scolytus mali in<br />
apple Malus and S.multistriatus in elm Ulmus.<br />
Tetrastichus brachyopae - A parasitoid of Brachyopa hoverfly larvae, discovered in Britain<br />
in 1993.<br />
PROCTOTRUPOIDEA<br />
Proctotrupidae<br />
Phaenoserphus calcar (Haliday) - Has been reared from subcortical beetle Bolitochara<br />
obliqua; internal parasite of larva.<br />
Brachyserphus parvulus (Nees) - Parasite of the beetle Orchesia micans.<br />
Diapriidae: Belytinae - Hosts little known, probably mostly Diptera, a few have been<br />
reared from Mycetophilidae in rotting fungi.<br />
Rhynchopsilus donisthorpei (Nixon) - Has been found in nests of the ant Lasius brunneus in<br />
Windsor Forest (Nixon, 1957).<br />
Acanosema reitteri Kieffer - Has been found with brown tree ant Lasius brunneus in Windsor<br />
Park (Nixon, 1957).<br />
Acanosema nervosa (Thomson) - Has once been taken from rotten Prunus log in which the<br />
gnat Sciara was developing (Nixon, 1957).<br />
Diapriidae: Diapriinae - The hosts are believed to be all Diptera, the wasps developing<br />
as internal parasites in the puparia (Nixon, 1980).<br />
Psilus inaequalifrons (Jansson) - Has been reared from Lonchaea cariecola under elm Ulmus<br />
bark, and from puparium under bark.<br />
Platygastridae<br />
Platygaster sp - Have been reared from burrows of the bark beetle Tomicus in larch Larix<br />
bark.<br />
CERAPHRONOIDEA<br />
Ceraphronidae<br />
Aphanogmus fasciipennis Thomson - Has been taken in fungus in which the beetle Sphindus<br />
dubius was developing.<br />
ACULEATA - Bees & Wasps. Cavity-nesting aculeates provide particular difficulties<br />
since suitable cavities can include situations as diverse as hollow stems of plants such<br />
as bramble and fissures in crumbling mortar, as well beetle exit holes in decaying<br />
wood.<br />
Bethylidae - The larvae mostly live as external parasites of beetle larvae.<br />
Cephalonomia formiciformis Westwood - A parasite of Ciidae beetles, taken in burrows of<br />
Cis boleti in various fungi, and associated with Cis pygmaeus.<br />
Cephalonomia hammi Richards - A female has been found carrying a ?Cis larva on which<br />
were 4 eggs.<br />
Plastanoxus chittendeni (Ashmead) - Has been reared from the fungus Stereum growing on<br />
rotten oak Quercus with Cis festivus.<br />
Chrysididae - Ruby-tailed wasps. Many are parasitoids of hosts which use dead wood for<br />
nesting to some extent at least, but few are dependent on dead wood.<br />
Chrysis schencki Linsenmaier - Nationally Scarce A. Probably a parasitoid of larvae of other<br />
aculeates; host(s) possibly nest in dead wood in open sunny situations. Sparsely<br />
scattered across southern England.<br />
