Annotated host catalogue for the Tachinidae (Diptera) of Italy

An annotated host catalogue is given for the Tachinidae of Italy. It comprises 180 tachinid species reared from 310 arthropod hosts belonging to seven insect orders and one chilopod order. The paper includes data from literature as well as hitherto unpublished records. K e y w o r d s : Tachinidae, parasitoids, host catalogue, Italy. Zusammenfassung Fur die italienischen Tachinidae wird ein kritischer Wirtekatalog gegeben. Er umfasst 180 Tachiniden-Arten und 310 Arthropoden-Wirtsarten aus sieben Insektenordnungen und einer Ordnung der Hundertfuser. Die Arbeit enthalt sowohl Daten aus der Literatur als auch bisher unveroffentlichte Wirtsangaben.
