Abstract

The article presents the habitat distribution of a practically important group of parasitic wasps of the subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) within the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine. Among 60 aphidiine species known for forest-steppe zone of Ukraine, 38 species are registered in meadow and steppe habitats, 31 species – in agricultural habitats and locations with ruderal vegetation, 31 species – in deciduous forest habitats, 15 species – in coniferous forests, 8 species – in wetlands, 4 species are eurytopic. According to the Chekanovsky-Sеrensen index, the greatest similarity (Ics = 0.78) of aphidiine species composition is observed between meadow and steppe biotopes, agrocenoses and biotopes with ruderal vegetation; the high similarity is observed between previous two habitats and the habitats of deciduous forests (Ics = 0.73 and 0.52, respectively); another more isolated cluster consists of aphidiines of coniferous forests and wetlands (Ics = 0.52), which can be explained by taxonomic distinctness of species composition.
