Biology. A. calandrae is a well-known parasite of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera 

 which attack stored products. A list is given by Peck (1963) of the recorded hosts 

 up to that date. In addition it was recorded [as mollis Ruschka] as a parasite of 

 Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zell. (Lep., Phycitidae) in Israel (Secretariat, etc. 

 1966 : 119, 127).
