“…It is known that the stylus is digging (the ground) apparatus for oviposition (Tanner, 1927). Accordingly, as suggested by Mares and Robinson (1986), the sensilla on the ovipositor of this species may also provide information on the suitability of the oviposition substrate. Basically, similar conditions have been studied in the parasitid wasp, Biosteres (Opius) longicaudatus (Greany et al, 1977), the potato moth, Phthorimaea opeculella (Valencia and Rice, 1982) and the apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Stoffplano and Yin, 1987).…”

Sensilla on the male and female external genitalia of the carabid beetle, Carabus (Ohomopterus) dehaanii dehaanii Chaudoir, were investigated with scanning electron microscopy. The investigation for female genitalia was conducted on the coxites and styli. As a result, 4 types of sensilla were distinguished. In male, a total of 6 types of sensilla were identified on the aedeagus. The external morphology and distribution pattern of each type of the sensilla in both sexes were described. Results are expected to provide a ground work for future research on the phylogenetic study of the genus Carabus and the comparative ultrastructure or behavior in the carabid beetle.

“…1D, Table 4). Mares et al (1986) proposed that H. bajulus is guided in host selection by light and odours of bicyclic monoterpenes (C 10 H 16 ). In our wind tunnel experiments however, activation elicited by most terpenoid stimuli was not necessarily followed by attraction or further behavioural responses.…”

In a wind tunnel bioassay the effect of three concentrations of natural extracts of (1) Scots pine wood, Pinus syl6estris, and (2) larval frass on the behavioural response of unmated females and males of the old house borer, Hylotrupes bajulus, was tested and compared to the behavioural effects of the male-produced sex pheromone (3R)-3-hydroxy-2-hexanone. The influence on the behaviour of both sexes was found to be equally significant for the two higher concentrated hexane extracts of wood and larval frass. Therefore several synthetic monoterpenes present in the extracts and ethanol were tested at the two higher concentrations (1:100, 1:1000 vol/vol). Among the higher concentrated monoterpenoid hydrocarbons [(+)-h-pinene, ( +)-i-pinene, (+ )-limonene], only h-pinene increased the activity, orientation towards scent source and interest towards conspecifics. The tests with higher concentrated ethanol and the oxygenated monoterpenes [( − )-verbenone, (− )-trans-pinocarveol, (+ )-terpinen-4-ol, (+)-h-terpineol, (− )-myrtenol] revealed that verbenone is the most effective stimulant for the females, followed by trans-pinocarveol, terpinen-4-ol and h-terpineol. For males, terpinen-4-ol was the only mediator significantly inducing attraction and orientation towards the scent source combined with an interest in conspecifics apparent by fighting or courtship behaviour. Males did not respond to verbenone which is a main compound of larval frass. Myrtenol and ethanol were ineffective in both sexes. In fact behavioural observations suggest that the beetles were repelled by the high dose of myrtenol. Using the ten-fold lower dose of the synthetic monoterpenes (1:1000 vol/vol), all semiochemicals except myrtenol lost activity. Myrtenol, however, induced behavioural responses, like increased activity and orientation towards scent source, only at the low concentration. Based on the results, primary attraction of unmated old house borer is probably mediated by monoterpenes of coniferous wood, while secondary attraction to infested wood would occur in response to volatiles of larval frass.
