“…Thus, B. parallela females may be attracted and arrested by host frass on the ground. Similar kairomonal activity of host frass has been demonstrated in the tachinid species, Lydella grisescens R-D (Hsiao et al, 1966), Lixophaga diatraeae (Townsend) (Roth et al, 1978;Thompson et al, 1983), Eucelatoria bryani Sabrosky (Nettles, 1982), and Linnaemya comta (Fallén) (Clement et al, 1986, as Bonnetia comta).…”

“…In some tachinid flies, attraction to odor from healthy and damaged plants has been demonstrated (Nettles, 1980;Roth et al, 1982;Roland, 1986;Roland et al, 1989Roland et al, , 1995Mondor and Roland, 1997;Kainoh et al, 1999;Stireman, 2002). Kairomones in the host frass have been shown to induce oviposition and larviposition by tachinid flies (Hsiao et al, 1966;Roth et al, 1978;Nettles, 1982;Thompson et al, 1983;Clement et al, 1986). E. japonica employs chemicals derived from host frass as arrestants in host location (Tanaka et al, 2001) However, most of the behavior and ecology of parasitoids including tachinids has been studied in the laboratory (Godfray, 1994;Quicke, 1997;Casas, 2000).…”

The oviposition behavior of the gregarious tachinid fly, Bessa parallela (Meigen), on Pryeria sinica Moore larvae was studied in a wooded area in Fukuoka, Japan, to increase our knowledge of tachinid behavior in the field. Most B. parallela females were observed to approach or oviposit on P. sinica larvae on the ground, while in contrast only one female was found on a tree and did not oviposit. When hosts on the ground and trees were collected and examined, the number of hosts bearing tachinid eggs was significantly larger for hosts collected on the ground than on trees. When the parasitized hosts collected in the field were reared in the laboratory, the survival rates of B. parallela were not significantly different between hosts collected on the ground and those on trees. In the field, B. parallela females deposited more eggs on the head and thorax of P. sinica larvae than on other body parts.

“…The parasitoid should now be in the proper place to find a host and therefore should be able to find host-produced cues. However, many of the compounds originate in the plant and are minimally changed by the host (Hendry et al 1976;Thompson et al 1983;Ramachandran et al 1991). This is in contrast to the host acceptance and oviposition step, in which the cues are synthesized by the host itself.…”

Summary.The host utilization process of insect parasitoids can be described by three stages of (1) habitatlocation, (2) host-location, and (3) host-acceptance and oviposition. There are 19 systems in which chemicals used in habitat-location have been identified, 12 systems in which chemical cues leading to host-location have been identified, and 16 systems in which chemicals eliciting host-acceptance and oviposition have been identified. Both the chemical class and the source of the infochemical change with the stage of the host utilization process. Semiochemicals identified in the habitatlocation stage were predominantly aldehydes, alcohols, sulfur-containing compounds, esters and terpenes, and were equally likely to be from the host-plant of the host, or from the host itself. Semiochemicals identified in the host-location stage were sugars, alkanes, terpenes and heterocyclic aromatic compounds and 3/4 of them were host-produced cues. In the host-acceptance and oviposition stage the identified semiochemicals were all produced by the host and were proteins, amino acids, triglycerides and salts. The importance of recognizing specific cues involved in host utilization by parasitoids is discussed, and suggestions for future research are made.

“…For example, parasitoids may locate host populations by food plants of the host insect (Cushman 1926;Arthur 1962), by secondary chemicals released by damaged foliage (Arthur 1962;Read et al 1970), or by host fecal material containing plant chemicals (Thompson et al 1983). Parasitoid success depends upon several factors, many of which are mediated by the prey's host plant.…”

Can. Ent. 119: 729-734 (1987) Parasitism of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decernlineata (Say), by the tachinid fly Myiopharus doryphorae (Riley) was monitored over four summers. Beetle larvae were collected from potato and a wild host species, Solanurn sarrachoides Sendt., and allowed to complete development in the laboratory. Parasitism rates were high, averaging 67, 58, and 45% over the 4 years, in June, July, and August, respectively. Categorical analyses indicated that parasitism rates were dependent upon year, month, and host plant species of the beetle. During 1983-1985, rates were highest in June, and decreased over the summer; results for 1986 were somewhat atypical, with parasitism rates being low in June and increasing somewhat in August. Host plant effects on parasitism varied with year. During 1983-1984, rates were higher for beetles collected from potato than beetles collected from S. sarrachoides; this tendency was reversed in 1985.
