First Report of Epibiont Ciliates (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) Living on Aquatic Larvae of Pyralidae (Lepidoptera)
ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS(2018)
Abstract
Epibiosis is the assemblage of epibionts on a given host individual (basibiont). Several studies have shown that epibionts can cause deleterious effects to their hosts. Here, we report the first record of epibiont ciliates (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) living on larvae of Pyralidae (Lepidoptera) from the Neotropical region.
