“…As for the host ant, at first it was believed that M. alcon used mainly Myrmica ruginodis and M. 'rebeli' used almost exclusively Myrmica schencki Viereck, 1902 as a host species (Thomas et al, 1989). Later, however, it became obvious that they both use a number of other Myrmica species (Elmes et al, 1994;Als et al, 2002;Steiner et al, 2003;Sielezniew & Stankiewicz, 2004;Tartally, 2005;Tartally et al, 2008a;Arnaldo et al, 2010). The two forms also have different flight periods, generally: M. 'rebeli' flies from mid-June, to mid-July, with a peak usually at the end of June or beginning of July and M. alcon from mid-July until the end of August, with a peak usually around the end of July (Meyer-Hozak, 2000;Sielezniew et al, 2003;Sielezniew & Stankiewicz, 2007;K} or€ osi et al, 2008;Nowicki et al, 2009).…”
