    Notes: Abstract Bioassay conditions with a glass olfactometer for the olive bark beetle, Phloeotribus scarabaeoides Bern. (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), have been investigated. The best temperatures and light intensities were between 17 and 28° C and 1000 and 1500 lux, respectively. The best response was obtained with newly emerged individuals from reproduction galleries with no feeding period.

    Notes: Abstract The role of ethylene, pure or in formulation, in the colonization behaviour of the olive bark beetle,Phloeotribus scarabaeoides (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) has been investigated in the laboratory. Ethylene has been found to be attractive in both sexes; the formulation ethrel 48 was active in an olfactometer up to several months. Ethylene, whose concentration varies with the developmental stage or the condition of the tree or its wood, may play an important role in the primary attraction of these scolytids to their host.

    Notes: Abstract Two experiments have been carried out to verify the effect of ethylene on the primary attraction ofPhloeotribus scarabaeoides under both laboratory and field conditions. The experiments were based on the enhancement of ethylene production by olive branches and trunks after the application of (2-chloroethyl)phosphonic acid. Under laboratory conditions, the beetles' response was strongly stimulated on the treated branches. Under field conditions, the treatment aided the location of the olive wood by the flying beetles, and the attack density was significantly greater in the treated wood at the end of the experiment.

    Notes: Abstract In recently pruned olive logs, an increase in ethylene release has been observed between 48 and 72 hr after pruning. The values reached, as well as the duration of ethylene release, varied greatly from one log to another. PioneerPhloeotribus scarabaeoides females have shown a preference for logs in which ethylene emission was higher. In logs treated with ethrel, a significant increase in ethylene emission was observed, together with a greater period of release. Therefore, the use of logs treated with ethrel could be of great importance in the control of this pest of olive trees.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des observations ont été réalisées sur la biologie deCheiropachus quadrum F. (Hym.: Pteromalidae) etDendrosoter protuberans (Nees) (Hym.: Braconidae), principales espèces de parasitoïdes des scolytes ravageurs de l'olivier,Hylesinus varius F. etPhloeotribus scarabaeoides (Col.: Scolytidae), dans le sud de l'Espagne. Les résultats ont montré qu'une augmentation de la taille du corps de l'hôte n'implique pas une augmentation de l'efficacité parasitaire. En fait, la taille de l'hôte agit sur l'efficacité parasitaire d'une façon inverse pourC. quadrum. D'après cette observation et vu l'abondance de l'hôte et la facilité de son élevage en laboratoire, il est donc conseillé d'utiliserP. scarabaeoides comme hôte pour l'élevage de masse des parasitoïdes étudiés ici. Par ailleurs, la lumière blanche est un facteur négatif en ce qui concerne la longévité et la fécondité du parasitoïde. Le stade pupe ainsi que tous les stades larvaires sont parasités.C. quadrum ne montre aucune préférence pour un stade de développement particulier de l'hôte alors que chezD. protuberans, il y a une préférence pour le 3e et le 5e stade larvaire. Quant à la sex ratio des parasitoïdes, une augmentation du nombre de mâles augmente la fécondité des femelles. Les résultats obtenus par cette étude sont très importants et vont permettre le développement d'un programme de lutte biologique contre les scolytes de l'olivier basé sur l'accroissement des populations deC. quadrum etD. protuberans.
    Notes: Abstract Observations on the biology ofCheiropachus quadrum (Hym: Pteromalidae) andDendrosoter protuberans (Hym: Braconidae), were conducted. Both species are the main parasites of the olive bark beetlesHylesinus varius andPhloeotribus scarabaeoides (Col: Scolytidae) in the South of Spain. Results have shown that an increase in body size of the host does not imply an increase in parasite efficiency. In fact, host size inversely affects parasite efficiency forC. quadrum. Bearing in mind this fact, the abundance of the host and the ease of its rearing in the lab, it is therefore advisable to useP. scarabaeoides as the host for mass rearing of the parasites studied here. On the other hand, the presence of white light is a negative factor for parasite longevity and fecundity. The pupae and all larval instars are parasitised.C. quadrum does not have a preference for any particular stage or larval instar of the host whilst there is a preference for the third and fifth larval instar byD. protuberans. With respect to the sex ratio of parasites, an increase in the number of males increases the fecundity of the females. The results obtained in this study can be considered essential in the development of a biological control system for olive bark beetle pests based on an increase in the population ofC. quadrum andD. protuberans.

    Notes: Abstract The semiochemical system of the olive bark beetle Phloeotribus scarabaeoides was investigated. During the course of their life-cycle, whole insects, excised hindguts, frass, wood and leaves were collected, from both the field and from a laboratory rearing system. Samples were analysed by capillary GC/MS, after solvent extraction, collection of air volatiles on a sorbent or solid sample injection. Olfactometer bioassays were used to test the different samples and individual compounds for attraction to both sexes. Decanal, undecanal, 2-decanone, 2-nonanone and 2-undecanone, as well as α- and β-pinene, were identified as attractive compounds.
