摘　　要：Egg parasitoids are known to use a wide range of chemicals, emitted by plants, host eggs or adults, for host selection. The effect of the sex pheromone components of the lepidopteran olive pests Prays oleae （Lepidoptera： Yponomeutidae） and Palpita unionalis （Lepidoptera： Pyralidae） was studied under laboratory conditions, on the foraging behaviour of the egg parasitoid Trichogramma oleae （Hymenoptera： Trichogrammatidae）. The re- sponse of T. oleae wasps to （Z）-7-tetradecenal and （E）-1 l-hexadecenal, major sex phero- mone components ofP. oleae and P. unionalis respectively, depended on the dose of the pheromone used in a Y-tube olfactometer bioassay. （E）-11-hexadecenal elicited maximum attraction （70%） at a dose of 1 pg, while a dose of 100 pg （Z）-7-tetradecenal attracted 80% of the tested wasps. （E）-11-hexadecenyl acetate, the second sex pheromone component of P. unionalis, and the binary blend of（E）-i 1-hexadecenyl acetate： （E）-11-hexadecenal （7：3） were not attractive at these doses. The results of this research are discussed in view that they may be considered as alternatives in the biological control of these pests.Egg parasitoids are known to use a wide range of chemicals, emitted by plants, host eggs or adults, for host selection.
