    Notes: Abstract The host suitability of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), for development of Biosteres arisanus (Sonan), a braconid parasitoid, was compared with three other fruit fly species, namely, Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata Weidemann, melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquilett, and Malaysian fruit fly, Bactrocera latifrons (Hendel). In addition, effects of five different fruit species, namely, Carica papaya L. (solo papaya), Musa sapientum (L.) O. Ktze. (apple banana), Mangifera indica (L.) (Haden mango), Terminalia catappa (L.) (false kamani), and Citrus aurantiifolia (Christman) Swingle (common lime), on the parasitization rate of B. dorsalis and sex ratio of parasitoid progenies were evaluated. Effects of host egg to female B. arisanus ratios on parasitoid progeny yields were likewise determined. The host suitability of fruit flies for development of B. arisanus was ranked as: B. dorsalis〉C. capitata=B. latifrons=B. cucurbitae. Based on percent parasitization of B. dorsalis, preference of B. arisanus females for host eggs varied with fruit species, however, preferential oviposition displayed by female parasitoids did not influence sex ratios of subsequent parasitoid progenies. Increases in host egg to female parasitoid ratios of 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 25:1, and 30:1 corresponded with increases in parasitoid progeny yield reaching a plateau at 20:1.

    Notes: Abstract Aspects of Biosteres arisanus (Sonan) (= Opius oophilus Fullaway) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) development on the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera (= Dacus) dorsalis (Hendel), were investigated to facilitate mass production in the insectary. Life table statistics were generated for cohorts of B. arisanus females. Overlap in the emergence of fruit flies and parasitoids necessitated a procedure for segregation, preferably before adult eclosion. Rate of parasitization by B. arisanus increased with host clutch size reaching a plateau at 20:1 host egg to female parasitoid ratio. Duration of the oviposition period influenced the level of host parasitization; host eggs were exposed to parasitoids for 24 h with minimal superparasitism. Females were highly productive within 3 weeks after emergence producing 40–70% females in the progeny. Adult males were shorter lived than females by ≈5 days. Based on a net reproductive rate (R0) of 〉16 daughters per female parent, a population increase of 10% was predicted each day. Handling procedures that could facilitate efficient production of parasitoids are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) has been produced in the laboratory for 〉160 generations on the larvae of oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), the propagation hosts raised routinely on a semi-synthetic wheat diet formulation. Choice tests using modified stinging units were conducted in the laboratory to investigate whether insectary rearing had altered the host seeking and oviposition behavior of female parasitoids. Results showed that fruit fly larvae that developed in papaya, Carica papaya L. var. ‘solo’, were less preferred for oviposition than fruit fly larvae that developed on wheat diet when both were exposed concurrently to naive D. longicaudata females (= females without prior oviposition experience). The substrates (pureed papaya or wheat diet) in which treatment larvae were exposed to parasitoids did not affect oviposition preference of gravid D. longicaudata for wheat diet-reared fruit fly larvae. Our study demonstrated the possibility that rearing in an insectary system may have modified the parasitization behavior of female D. longicaudata.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Fruchtattrappen aus Holz und Kautschuk verschiedener Farbe und Grösse haben sich nach Prokopy (1968) als attraktiv auf R. pomonella (Walsh) in Apfelbäumen erwiesen. Aehnliche Resultate ergaben sich, als diese mit Stikem® überzogenen Körper in Kaffeebäumen auf Kana, Hawaii aufgehängt wurden und C. capitata beider Geschlechter anzogen. Es wurde gezeigt, dass eine Kugel (7,5 cm Durchmesser) viel attraktiver ist als ein Zylinder, ein Rechteck oder ein Kubus gleicher Fläche (Tafel I, Exper: 2). Gelbe Kugeln, die wahrscheinlich die Reflexion des Laubwerks nachahmen, wurden mit zunehmender Grösse für beide Geschlechter attraktiver. Schwarze Kugeln, die wahrscheinlich die spektrale Absorption von Früchten nachahmen, zeigten eine optimale Attraktion zwischen 3,2 und 7,5 cm Durchmesser. Gelbe und schwarze Kugeln von 7,5 cm Durchmesser waren gleich anziehend und waren am attraktivsten von acht berücksichtigten Farben, während weiss und grau am wenigsten attraktiv waren. In einer zusätzlichen Studie wurde Trimedlure, ein Männchenlockstoff, auf einen Wattebausch gebracht und an eine schwarze 7,5 cm Kugel und an ein gelbes 20×25 cm Rechteck gehängt. Damit wurde die Attraktion beider Körper für Männchen, nicht aber für Weibchen erhöht. Die Verwendung eines Männchen- oder Weibchenlockstoffs zusammen mit visuellen Fallen kann zur Entwicklung einer wirksameren Falle führen.
    Notes: Abstract Wooden and rubber fruit models of different shapes, colors, and sizes were hung in fruiting coffee trees. Spheres (7.5 cm in diam) were much more attractive to Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) than cubes, cylinders, or rectangles of equivalent surface area. Black and yellow were the most attractive of eight colors, and white and grey were the least attractive. When an array of sphere sizes were tested, the attraction to flies increased as the size of yellow spheres increased from 1.5 to 18 cm diam. Trimedlure (tert-butyl 4(5)-chloro-2-methylcyclohexanecarboxylate) enhanced the attraction for males when added to 20.3×25.4-cm yellow rectangles and to 7.5-cm black spheres.
