| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Itoplectis can parasitise both Lepidopteran pupae and Ichneumonoid cocoons. "Dissections of campoplegine ichneumonid prepupae in cocoons parasitised by Itoplectis maculator and I. aterrima revealed that both are truly endoparasitic in this context, and that campoplegine prepupae remain capable of movement for a time following parasitisation by these Itoplectis species." |
