摘要:

OverwinteringOstrinia nubilalis(Hübner) fifth instars were systematically collected at 621 sample sites on a grid interval of 40 km encompassing New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina and were evaluated for parasitoids. The study was focused on the extent of dispersal ofLydella thompsoniHerting from its presumed reestablishment in Delaware during the mid-1970s and the level of parasitism of overwinteringO. nubilalislarvae. The bulk of the study was conducted in 1986 and 1987 with some additional samples taken in 1988 and 1989 from outlier locations.L. thompsoni, Macrocentrus grandiiGoidanich, andEriborus terebransGravenhorst were the only exotic species recovered. All three of these parasitoids were found in all states surveyed. Parasitism by these three species combined was 5.4% in 1986 and 7.5% in 1987 for the entire areas surveyed. The areas of most abundance for each species were in North Carolina forL. thompsoni, a band from northeastern Pennsylvania to eastern Virginia forM. grandii, and in Ohio forE. terebrans.All three exotic parasitoids species were retrieved at less than 3% of the sample sites. Data suggest that the dispersal rate ofL. thompsonifrom Delaware was about 50 km per year. An uncommon nativeLixophagasp. was found in Western Ohio and Western North Carolina. The three exotic parasitoid species appear to be well established in their respective foci of abundance.
