Abstract

ABSTRACT The polyphagous ectoparasitoid, Rhopalicus tutela (Walker), introduced to New Zealand as a biological control agent of Hylastes ater (Paykull) during the 1970s, has recently been collected from a forest park in Canterbury. Researchers previously thought that the species had failed to establish at release sites around the North Island. Monitoring of the species was ceased in 1985 and research into its potential to control bark beetle populations was abandoned. Mystery surrounds whether the discovered population is part of the original introduction or may have arrived to New Zealand on its own.

40年后在坎特伯雷发现“未稳定”的生物控制剂

摘要：20世纪70年代引入新西兰的多食性外寄生蜂Rhopalicus tutela（Walker）是Hylastes ater（Paykull）的生物防治剂，最近在坎特伯雷的一个森林公园采集到。研究人员此前认为，该物种未能在北岛周围的放生点建立。1985年停止了对该物种的监测，并放弃了对其控制树皮甲虫种群潜力的研究。神秘的是，被发现的种群是最初引入的一部分，还是可能是自己来到新西兰的。

期刊介绍： The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research. The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history. The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
