Abstract

During 1991–1993 6300 specimens of cono-and seminiphagous insects and 10 specimens of parasitoid were obtained from 450 cones of firAbies alba Mill. This material originated from the Babia Góra National Park and its surroundings. The index of cone infestation by these insects is given for fir localities situated at different heights above the sea level. The seed losses caused by insects were estimated on the basis of analysis of 34,704 of fir seeds.

Zusammenfassung

Aus 450 Tannenzapfen (Abies alba Mill.), gesammelt 1991 und 1993 im Babia-Góra-National-Park und in der Forstverwaltung Sucha, Süd-Polen, wurden 6300 Individuen schädlicher Insekten gewonnen.

Es handelte sich um die Seminiphagen:Resseliella piceae Seitn. (Dipt., Cecidomyiidae) — 3461 Ex.,Megastigmus suspectus Borr. (Hym., Torymidaea) — 2698 Ex. sowie um die Konophagen:Earomyia impossible Morge (Dipt., Lonchaeidae) — 129 Ex.,Dioryctria abietella (Den. et Schiff.) (Lep., Phycitidae) — 11 Ex. undBarbara herrichiana Obr. (Lep., Tortricidae) — 1 Ex. Aus den Raupen vonD. abietella wurdenLissonota nigricoxis Hab. (Hym., Ichneumonidae) — 10 Ex. gezogen. Als Indikator der Besiedlung von Zapfen erreichteM. suspectus (13,33 in 1993) den höchsten Wert. Die Analyse von 34.704 Samen nach der Schnittmethode ergab, daß die Schäden in den Samen (65%) hauptsächlich vonR. piceae verusacht wurden.
