Abstract

• Host and in some cases detailed rearing data are presented for 225 species of western Palaearctic Campopleginae from reared material in the National Museums of Scotland, with comments on phenology of all species and particular attention to their means of overwintering. For many species there were previously no host records. Fifty-four species are recorded from Britain for the first time, of which two species of Campoplex and one of Diadegama are described as new. Attention is drawn to type material of other campoplegine taxa present in the collection
