Abstract:

Twenty-one species of Ichneumonidae from the subfamilies Microleptinae and Orthocentrinae were reared from fungi, together with their potential hosts, fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae). Samples of fungi infested by dipterous larvae were collected in the years 1998-2000 at various localities of the Czech Republic. Of the 177 samples of fungi infested by mycetophilids, 44 (24.9 %) were parasitized by ichneumonids. A list of ichneumonids identified to species is provided, together with data on habitat, host insect and host fungus. Host insect is recorded for the first time for 17 ichneumonid species. Sixteen species and 4 genera of Ichneumonidae are recorded for the first time from the Czech Republic.
