摘要
The phoretic egg parasitoid, Telenomus euproctidis Wilcox (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) was found more frequently on virgin than on mated female moths of Euproctis taiwana (Shiraki) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), when virgin and mated moths were exposed concurrently in the field for 24 hr. A synthetic component of the moth's sex pheromone, (2)-16-methyl-9-heptadecenyl isobutyrate, attracted both the wasp, T. euproctidis, and male E. taiwana. These findings suggest that T. euproctidis uses the sex pheromone of the female moth, E. taiwana, as a kairomone to locate a host female moth and through her the host eggs.
