All rights reserved Gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), and its natural enemies in the forests of central Serbia Gubar, Lymantria dispar (L.), i njegovi prirodni neprijatelji u šumama centralne Srbije Abstract: In central Serbia, a total of 88 species which are natural enemies of the gypsy moth, i.e. 23 predators, 49 parasitoid insects and 10 saprophagous insects, and 6 pathogens, has been reported. The most abundant of them are the insects which attack the gypsy moth in the larval instar (41 species). Regarding the number of the species, the representatives of the Hymenoptera (14 species from Ichneumonidae family and 11 species from Braconidae family) and Diptera orders (12 species from Tachinidae family and 8 species from Sarcophagidae family) are most frequent. Regarding the predators of the gypsy moth, Carabidae family, from Coleoptera order, is most frequent. In addition, at some sites Lymantria dispar nucleopolyhedrosis virus and Entomophaga maimaiga had the dominant role in the reduction of the gypsy moth density. Izvod: U centralnoj Srbiji do danas je utvrđeno ukupno 88 vrste prirodnih neprijatelja gubara, i to 23 predatora, 49 parazitoida, 10 vrsta koje se ponašaju kao saprofagi i parazitoidi, te 6 patogena. U navedenom broju najzastupljeniji su insekti koji parazitiraju larveni stadijum gubara (41 vrsta). Po broju zastupljenih vrsta, najviše je pripadnika redova Hymenoptera (12 vrsta iz familije Ichneumonidae i 11iz familije Braconidae) i Diptera (12 vrsta iz familije Tachinidae i 8 iz Familije Sarcophagidae). Od predatora gubara, najzastupljenija ja familija Carabidae iz reda Coleoptera. Takođe, u pojedinim područjima Lymantria dispar nucleopolyhedrosis virus i entomopatogena gljiva Entomophaga maimaiga imali su dominantnu ulogu u smanjenju brojnosti gubara u stadijumu larve.
