Abstract

Lophyroplectus luteator (Thunb.), a European ichneumonid, has been established as a parasite of Neodiprion sertifer (Geoff.) from a release made in 1962, and has dispersed approximately 12 miles (19.3 km) in the 7 years following introduction. A second, smaller release in the same year failed. In a third release, made in 1964, recoveries were made every year until sampling was stopped in 1971, but dispersal has only been approximately 2 miles (3.2 km).

Résumé

Lophyroplectus luteator (Thunb.), un Ichneumonidé européen, fut introduit dans un certain secteur du sud-ouest de l’Ontario en 1962 comme parasite de Neodiprion sertifer (Geoff.) et se répandit sur une distance de 12 milles (19.3 km) durant les sept années subséquentes. Une deuxième introduction faite la même année, non loin de là, ne réussit pas. Une troisième, effectuée en 1964 dans un troisième secteur, permit au parasite de se répandre sur seulement 2 milles (3.2 km) jusqu’en 1971, année où cessèrent les relevés dans ce secteur.
