On the role of Pheroprax influencing the settlement of Ips typographus L. on spruce The attractants of Pheroprax are effective only with flying bark‐beetles. A concentration gradient of their impact is observed. When combined with a clearly visible elongated silhouette they guide the beetles in a direct approach to the source of the attractant. In absence of this silhouette an attraction and landing of the beetles is still registered but the latter is directed much less distinctly to the source of the attractant. In consequence it is assumed that further compounds hitherto unknown are responsible for the recognition of the host, the distribution on the trunk, and the finding of the mates. Zusammenfassung Die im Pheroprax enthaltenen Lockstoffe wirken nur auf fliegende Buchdrucker. Ihre Wirkung ist konzentrationsabhängig. In Verbindung mit einer deutlich sichtbaren, langgestreckten Silhouettc führen sie zu gerichteten Anflügen der Duftstoffquelle. Fehlt diese Silhouette, kommt es auch zu Anlockung und Landung, jedoch ist diese wesentlich weniger auf die Duftquelle ausgerichtet. Danach müssen für die Wirtsfindung, die Verteilung am Stamm sowie das Auffinden der Geschlechter weitere, bisher nicht bekannte Verbindungen verantwortlich sein.
