Abstract

Adults of the histeridTeretriosoma nigrescens Lewis, a predator of the Larger Grain BorerProstephanus truncatus (Horn), were captured under field conditions in Costa Rica within the same pheromone traps as the stored product pest. Neither insect could be found in unbaited traps. The possible kairomonal importance of the prey's pheromone is discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Die Adulten des GlanzkäfersTeretriosoma nigrescens, zu dessen Beutetieren der VorratsschädlingProstephanus truncatus gehört, wurden unter Freilandbedingungen in Costa Rica in den mit demProstephanus-Pheromon beköderten Fallen zusammen mit diesem gefangen. In unbeköderten Fallen waren keine Glanzkäfer enthalten. Die mögliche kairomonale Bedeutung des Beutetier-Pheromons wird erörtert.
