Notes: Abstract Porapak Q volatile extracts of female Ascogaster quadridentata, an egg-larval endoparasitoid of codling moth, Cydia pomonella, bioassayed in Y-tube olfactometers attracted male, but not female, A. quadridentata. Coupled gas chromatographic–electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) analysis of bioactive extracts revealed three compounds that elicited responses by male A. quadridentata antennae. GC-mass spectra (MS) indicated, and comparative analyses of authentic standards confirmed, that these compounds were (Z,Z)-9,12-octadecadienal, (Z)-9-hexadecenal, and 3,7,11-trimethyl-6E,10-dodecadienal. (Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienal alone attracted laboratory-reared male A. quadridentata in Y-tube olfactometer and field-cage bioassays, and attracted feral A. quadridentata in a field experiment. This sex pheromone could be used to help detect populations of A. quadridentata, delineate their distributions, and determine potential sources of parasitoids for capture and release in integrated programs for control of C. pomonella.

Notes: Tebufenozide (RH-5992), a nonsteroidal ecdysone agonist, stimulated significant (P ≤ 0.05) growth in both testes of post-diapausing codling moth larvae and a dormant Ascogaster larva in its overwintering host's hemocoel. Tebufenozide elicited the same responses in post-diapausing testes and Ascogaster larvae as were reported earlier in insects treated with 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-OHE) [Friedlander, J Insect Physiol 35:29 (1989); Brown et al., Endocrinological Frontiers in Physiological Insect Ecology. Wroclaw: Wroclaw Technical University Press, pp 443-447 (1988)]. Only a trace (≤ 1%) of 14C-tebufenozide was recovered from gonads and exuviae of healthy larvae, or from Ascogaster larvae removed from parasitized hosts; however, the renewed growth of testes and Ascogaster larvae and apolysis of codling moth integument were an obvious response to the hormone agonist. Most of the injected 14 C-tebufenozide was recovered from host fat body, while the alimentary canal retained approximately 40% of the 14 C-tebufenozide fed in an artificial diet.Host exposure to tebufenozide did not cause apolysis in endo- or ectoparasitic hymenopterans feeding on treated codling moth larvae; however, the endoparasitoid trapped in the host's hemocoel died as its host's tissue deteriorated. Different results were observed on ectoparasitoids developing on treated hosts. Ectoparasitic Hyssopus sp. (Eulophidae) larvae feeding on tebufenozide treated hosts pupated in the normal length of time. Hyssopus adults which developed from larvae fed tebufenozide treated hosts were fertile and produced as many progeny as adults reared from solvent fed controls. There was no evidence of secondary poisoning to Hyssopussp. and codling moth exposure to tebufenozide may actually benefit the rearing of this eulophid by maintaining the host in the susceptible larval stage and preventing the host larva from spinning a cocoon. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
