The pitchers of N. rajah are some of the largest Nepenthes phytotelmata, capable of holding 2.5 litres of fluid[1]

This list of Nepenthes pitcher inhabitants and visitors is a listing of organisms recorded from the traps of Nepenthes pitcher plants. It includes true infaunal organisms—those that inhabit the pitcher fluid as part of their life cycles or enter it to forage—as well as organisms that are found inside or on the pitchers but above the fluid level. It excludes pitcher visitors that typically fall prey to the plant, as well as those that feed on the pitchers (such as leaf miners and weevils). That is, only examples of putative ecological facilitation are listed, where the interspecific relationship is thought to be either commensal or mutualistic.

Around 100 different species have been recorded from Nepenthes pitchers. Some of these are specialised to life inside Nepenthes pitchers, while others are generalists that colonise any suitable body of water.

Species are ordered alphabetically by genus, with indeterminate identifications included at the end. The following information is included in brackets after the taxon name:

  • Host Nepenthes taxa from which the pitcher associate has been recorded.
  • Known geographical extent of this association. For non-nepenthebionts, this may be smaller than their entire natural range. Generally follows Roger A. Beaver (1983),[2] with additional categories added to accommodate new records.
  • Ecological group to which the pitcher associate belongs, if known. This classification follows August Thienemann, who divided Nepenthes infauna into three groups based on the intimacy and necessity of their associations:[3][4]
    • Nepenthebionts — organisms which are specialised to life inside Nepenthes pitchers and are totally dependent on them at least at some stage of their lives. Obligate pitcher dwellers.
    • Nepenthephiles — organisms which are frequently found in Nepenthes pitchers, but which are not completely dependent on them at any stage of their lives. Facultative pitcher dwellers.
    • Nepenthexenes — organisms which are not normally associated with pitchers, but which are occasionally encountered in them. Accidental pitcher associates.
  • Additional information on the nature of the organism's association with Nepenthes, including relevant behaviour.

In cases where the originally published name of an infaunal or host species differs from that currently recognised, the former is indicated in square brackets following the accepted name. Similarly, where a misidentification has taken place with respect to the infaunal or host species, the originally reported name is included in square brackets following the one currently accepted. Homotypic (objective) synonyms are indicated by a triple bar (≡) and heterotypic (subjective) synonyms by an equals sign (=); a lack of either sign indicates a misidentification.

The list largely follows similar compilations of Nepenthes infauna by Beaver (1983)[2] and Adlassnig et al. (2011).[5]

Fluid in unopened pitchers has antimicrobial properties and has long been thought to be sterile[6] (but see [7]).

Some species of mosquito[70][104] are only known from their pitcher plant hosts and have been named after them.




Infaunal mosquito larvae in the digestive fluid of N. rajah. Culex rajah and Toxorhynchites rajah were described from the pitchers of this species and are named after it.[77]


At least in some genera, the eggs of mosquitoes that breed in Nepenthes pitchers differs from those that colonise artificial containers.[86][105]

Larvae of the syrphid fly Nepenthosyrphus, which are hooking predators, have been recorded from N. ampullaria[63] and N. bicalcarata pitchers, although they are considered relatively rare pitcher inhabitants.[64]

Frit fly larvae of the family Chloropidae.[35] Syrphid fly larvae of the genus Nepenthosyrphus are subaquatic predators in Nepenthes pitchers, feeding on mosquito larvae and other insects. They are thought to have evolved from detritivorous ancestors.[106] The phorid fly Megaselia campylonympha feeds on recently drowned insects.[15]


Flies of the genus Endonepenthia (family Phoridae) are carrion feeders.[63] Biting midges of the genera Dasyhelea (D. ampullariae, D. biseriata, and others) and Forcipomyia are detritivorous members of the pitcher infauna.[63] 5 species of Dasyhelea are known to breed in Nepenthes pitchers.[107] The non-biting midge

Gall midges of the genus Listodiplosis are known to be hooking predators in the infaunal foodweb of N. ampullaria.[63]

The larva of the fungus gnat Xenoplatyura beaveri (family Mycetophilidae) is a terrestrial predator in N. ampullaria pitchers.[94] It forms a web across the mouth of the pitcher which may completely block the opening. Insects caught in this web are killed by the highly acidic sticky droplets that the larva secrets onto it. Infaunal insects emerging from the pitcher fluid are likely to constitute an important source of food.[45] The larva has also been seen fishing out small insects from the surface of the fluid.[108] A species of Xenoplatyura has also been recorded from N. bicalcarata, although the gnat is apparently only present in pitchers that have not been colonised by the ant Camponotus schmitzi, another terrestrial predator of the pitcher foodweb.[64]

Bacteria are by far the most numerous inhabitants of Nepenthes pitchers. One study found 26 strains of bacteria in only 4 pitchers. Of these, 10 strains were gram-positive and 16 were gram-negative, and 10 showed casein hydrolase activity.[189]

One study found between 48,000 and 8,000,000 rod-shaped bacteria per cubic centimetre of pitcher fluid. They form a symbiotic relationship with Nepenthes, gaining nutrients from captured prey and in return assisting, to a limited degree, in their digestion.[190]

Notes[edit]

a.^ Endonepenthia was formally synonymised with Megaselia in 1981,[98] but some authors choose to treat them separately since Endonepenthia differs ecologically from Megaselia sensu stricto in that it concentrates in young pitchers.[63][61]
b.^ In his 1988 book Stranger in the Forest, Eric Hansen attributes a similar ant–plant relationship to N. lowii:[191]

Weng [a Penan guide from the upper Malinau River] told me the story of a diving ant that launches itself from the rim of Lowes [sic] pitcher plant (Nepenthes lowii) and plunges into the insect-eating reservoir of digestive fluid contained within the body of the plant. The diving ant rescues some of the insects by "swimming" them to the edge of the reservoir like a miniature lifesaver. Then the ant eats the insect.

c.^ The upper pitchers of N. lowii secrete a sugary, white substance that accumulates among the bristles on the exposed lower surface of the lid. In the 1960s, J. Harrison assumed that these white beads were snail eggs.[192] E. J. H. Corner, who led the 1961 and 1964 Royal Society Expeditions to Mount Kinabalu, wrote:[193][194]

In the early morning there is a ringing gonging which we traced to tupaias (tree-shrews) scampering over the pitchers of N. lowii and banging the old, empty and resonant, pitchers together. The late Professor J. Harrison, of Singapore, discovered that a snail laid its eggs in the hairs under the lid and that the tupaias came to eat them.

It is now known that these white beads are of the plant's own production and serve to attract tree shrews, from whose droppings they derive most of their foliar nitrogen.[22]
