Abstract

It was observed that the parasite Dahlbominus fuscipennis Zett. was infected when developing in microsporidian-infected pupae of Neodiprion swainei Midd., Neodiprion lecontei Fitch, Neodiprion pratti banksianae Roh., and Pristiphora erichsonii Htg. The microsporidian was observed in the whole gut epithelium, fat body, and cerebral ganglial cells of the parasite. The parasitoid was infected only after the hosts had completed their winter diapause or at any time in non-diapausing species.
