“…In several parasitoid-host relationships host odor has been reported to playa role in attracting or orientating the parasitoid (Bartlett and Lagace 1961, Bartlett 1953, Carton 1971, Spradberry 1970a, Weseloh 1974) although it is not yet established whether these odors play a major role as long range or short range factors. Hendry et al (1973) has shown that heptanoic acid from the frass of the potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculeZZa, will attract OrgiZus Zepidus while an unidentified contact chemical elicited ovipositor thrusting after the parasitoid antennally examined the frass.…”

The coevolution of a predator and its prey suggests that the prey is selected for predator avoidance and escape while the predator is selected for more efficient prey-finding and capture. The predator attacks and consumes its host and, thus being successful, would be expected to propagate. The parasite-host relationship is a similar reciprocating evolutionary relationship with one important difference--the host should not be killed. The parasite must not only locate the host but must constantly adapt to a developing and changing host, a situation resulting in a closely interwoven relationship. The continued development of a host in accord with the evolutionary development of the host species is of benefit to the parasite. It is probably advantageous for the parasite to evolve towards a condition where the parasite has a minimal affect on the host species. This would insure the continued existence of a viable host population.The parasitoid-host relationship is akin to the predator-and parasite-host relationship, but with some unique aspects. The term parasitoid is used for arthropods where the egg and early larval stages are parasitic, but where the host is eventually killed. The adult is free living. In the parasitoid-host relationship, the parasitoid must not only locate the host, but must utilize the host for the progeny's benefit. Once the host has been parasitized, the parasitoid's progeny grow and develop at the expense of the host; ultimately killing the host. The host's future development is only of importance to the parasitoid. Thus the evolutionary strategy of the parasitoid is different from that of a parasite or predator. The parasitized host can no longer be considered as a member of the host species, but must be viewed as a container for the parasitoid. The evolutionary development of the parasitized host towards a

L'analyse expérimentale du comportement de la femelle de Pimpla instigator, hyménopTÈre parasite de chrysalide, précise les stimuli qui lui permettent de localiser son hôte. Pimpla possède une acuiTÉ sensorielle particulièrement efficace dans le processus de découverte de l'hôte. L'olfaction permet à cet hyménopTÈre parasite de percevoir l'hôte à distance. La forme, qui n'est perĉue qu'après contact direct, joue un rôle déterminant pour déclencher l'acte de ponte. Ce criTÈre forme n'est cependant pas indispensable puisqu'en son absence, Pimpla perĉoit, grâce à son seul sens olfactif, la présence de l'hôte‐chrysalide.

“…Microterys nietneri is a widespread (perhaps even cosmopolitan) species, but it is not clear if it occurs naturally in California. Howard (1881) described Encyrtus flavus from Los Angeles County, but Timberlake (1913) and Bartlett & Lagace (1961) noted that this species was also known from Asia and opined it had been accidentally established here. In the1950s a "black scale race" of this species was introduced from India and Pakistan in a series of (apparently unsuccessful) biocontrol introductions (Clausen 1959;Bartlett 1978a).…”

“…In 1989, Trjapitzin synonymized E. flavus under M. nietneri. Bartlett & Lagace (1961) and Rosen & Kfir (1980) noted that several geographical strains of this species exist, and they differ in their host preferences. Noyes (2001) includes a host record of "Coccus piperus", referred to Hayat's (1986) catalog of Indian Encyrtidae, but in that work the host is properly spelled as "Coccus piperis" (now placed in the genus Maacoccus).…”

Based on examination of the literature and specimens, 208 described species in 90 genera of Encyrtidae are listed from California. Data on the original publication, deposition of types, geographic distribution and host records of these species are presented. Forty-three species were established in biocontrol programs, 157 are presumed native, 7 appear to be adventitious introductions, and the origin of one is undetermined. An additional 276 morphospecies are also listed as present in the state within an additional 21 described genera and potentially up to 20 undescribed genera. Altogether, 31 new genera and 36 new species are recorded for the state, as well as 70 new parasitoid-host records. Errors pertaining to California taxa in previously published papers are corrected. Metaphycus immaculatus (Howard) is reported as a new combination (from Aphycus Mayr). Three appendices are included: a host/parasitoid listing for the described species present in the state, a listing of taxa previously reported from California under invalid names, and a list of taxa either erroneously reported from the state, or unsuccessful biocontrol introductions.
