摘要：

Brachymeria intermedia (Nees), a pupal parasitoid of the gypsy moth, was caught in the field using plexiglas traps coated with Tangletrap (2). Significantly greater numbers of females were collected in traps baited with gypsy moth pupae than in traps with male or female B. intermedia or traps painted yellow. B. intermedia collected in traps during the first 3 weeks of native gypsy moth pupation were primarily female. A preponderance of males were caught during the fourth week. The hyperparasite, Brachymeria compsilurae (Cwfd) was also trapped in small numbers. Gypsy moth pupae were hung in interior and exterior areas of woodland sites. A greater number of B. intermedia emerged from pupae in woodland edge sites than from pupae in interior woodland sites. © 1978 Le François.
