A Synoptic List of the Parasites of Scolytidae (Coleoptera) in North America North of Mexico

Abstract

AbstractA resumé of the North American literature concerned with hymenopterous parasites of bark beetles is presented. Morphology, seasonal history, host-tree selection, hyperparasitism, importation and colonization and their influence upon control of the host are briefly discussed.Parasites of a given host or hosts of a known parasite can easily be found in two different lists. Parasites are listed below in an alphabetical list of bark beetle species. Hosts, including some species other than bark beetles, are listed under a separate list of parasite families and genera. Host-parasite associations in each list are supported by a numerical reference to the literature cited.
