“…All foundresses used in our experiments were themselves reared on YLB, hence they appear to need more time to recognize a different host species as suitable. In some other species of parasitoids, females prefer hosts belonging to the same species on which they developed (Schoonhoven et al, 1998;Wei et al, 2013) although such preferences may also be absent (Pérez-Lachaud and Hardy, 2001). All else being equal, mass rearing programs will be more efficient when parasitoids develop more rapidly.…”

Sclerodermus brevicornis attacked all three species, but offspring only developed to maturity on medium and large sized host larvae. Host species influenced the duration of parasitoid development and the number of offspring maturing, both were greatest on A. glabripennis, with up to 373 adult parasitoids emerging from a single host. The sex ratios of S. brevicornis broods were strongly female biased (ca. 9% males). We conclude that S. brevicornis has the potential to be efficiently mass-reared and actively deployed in the biological control of invasive longhorn beetles. Further progress should be encouraged by the successful use of other species of Sclerodermus against beetle pests in China.

“…C. stephanoderis had long been thought to be specific to the coffee berry borer but has recently been found to be naturally associated with another scolytid, Hypothenemus obscurus Fabricius, in Colombia (Arcila et al, 1997) and to parasitize the alternative factitious hosts Caulophilus oryzae and Sitophilus sp. in laboratory bioassays (Pérez-Lachaud and Hardy, 2001). The cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of C. stephanoderis adults reared on the alternative hosts have not yet been analyzed.…”

“…More wasps were collected later and incorporated into the colony stock. The colony was maintained on H. hampei hosts for 2 years and then a new colony was initiated using the factitious alternative host Caulophilus oryzae (Pérez-Lachaud and Hardy, 2001). This colony has been reared using larvae and pupae of C. oryzae for more than 2 years by G.P-L. Caulophilus oryzae were from a colony initiated from commercial corn purchased at Mexico City (Pérez-Lachaud and Hardy, 2001).…”

Cuticular hydrocarbons of an ectoparasitic wasp attacking two beetle hosts have been identified and examined for the influence of age, gender, mating status, and host on hydrocarbon composition. The 37 wasp hydrocarbons identified consisted of a series of n-alkanes (C16 to C33), 3-, 5-, 9-, 10-, 11-, and 12-methyl alkanes and a series of Z-7 and Z-9 monoenes (C23:1 to C27:1). One C25:2 diene was found. No effects of hydrocarbon composition as a function of age, gender, or mating status were found for the wasps. Wasps reared on Hypothenemus hampei, however, had 12/37 significant abundance differences to those reared on Caulophilus oryzae, although all but one of these differences were for components in less than 2% relative abundance. The C25:2 diene from wasps reared on H. hampei was present in about 10% whereas from wasps reared on C. oryzae it was present in about 2%. The hydrocarbons of one host for this wasp, the coffee berry borer (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), have been previously reported [Howard and Infante, Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 89:700-709 (1996)]. The hydrocarbons of the alternative host, C. oryzae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) consists of n-alkanes (C17 to C31), 3-, 4-, 5-, 7-, 9-, 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, and 15-methyl alkanes, and a series of dimethyl alkanes of the series 3, 17-; 5, 11-; 5, 17-; 7, 11-; 7, 13-; 13, 17-; and 15, 19-. No unsaturated hydrocarbons were found. No significant differences in hydrocarbon composition were found between male and female C. oryzae. Hydrocarbon patterns of four species of Cephalonomia are compared and shown to be species-specific. The data are discussed in terms of ecological and physiological parameters.

“…Furthermore, CBB is polyphagous in its home range in Africa with coffee being but one of its hosts (Vega et al, 2012). Similarly, the linkages of the parasitoids to CBB are not particularly tight (Vega et al, 2012) because the parasitoids also have other hosts (Pérez Lachaud and Hardy, 2001) and CBB and the parasitoids spread the risk of extinction through polyphagy (c.f., Boer, 1968). As a result, little by way of regulation of CBB occurs resulting in high infestation levels in coffee in the Americas and in its native range in Africa.…”

a b s t r a c tParasitoids native to tropical Africa have been released in the Americas for the biological control of the coffee berry borer (CBB), but their establishment has been checkered. A tritrophic distributed maturation time model for the coffee plant -CBB -three parasitoids (Phymastichus coffea, Cephalonomia stephanoderis, Prorops nasuta) system was proposed by Gutierrez et al. (1998). Based on this pioneering work, and improved models for coffee and CBB (Rodríguez et al., 2011(Rodríguez et al., , 2013, we present an updated version of the parasitoid models. The new elements in this analysis include:1. New data on the biology and behavior of the parasitoids are added. 2. A fourth parasitoid (Cephalonomia hyalinipennis) is added to the system. 3. Interspecific competitive interactions among parasitoids (e.g., dyadic contests, intra-guild predation and hyperparasitism) and their effects on the control of CBB are explored.Because field data on the effectiveness of the parasitoids on CBB control is sparse, we assessed the efficacy of the parasitoids for control of CBB heuristically. The results are compared to prior analyses, and are related to field observations. Specifically, we found:1. Control of CBB by betilid parasitoids (Cephalonomia stephanoderis, Cephalonomia hyalinipennis and Prorops nasuta) is ineffective because of their low reproductive capacity relative to CBB, their host-feeding behavior, and phenological mismatches with CBB life stages. 2. Of the parasitoids, the eulophid P. coffea has the greatest potential to suppress CBB infestation levels, though the fungal pathogen B. bassiana and insecticides are reported to have detrimental effects on its establishment and dynamics.
