Other Parasitidae

The family Parasitidae is also represented in the collection by small numbers of specimens of a further 6 species, which cannot be identified because the specimens are either immatures (protonymphs or deutonymphs) or males, and confident identification depends on females. All of these are probably predators of insect eggs and larvae and other small invertebrates. ( Parasitidae species 1, Site 94­31, 2 males, 4 DN; Parasitidae species 2, Site 94­30, 6 DN; Parasitidae species 3, Site 94­31, 2 DN; Site 94­32, 1 DN, 1 PN; Parasitidae species 4, Site 94­31, 1 DN; Parasitidae species 5, Site 94­31, 1 male; Parasitidae species 6, Site 94­27, 1 DN).
