Parasitoids relymainly on infochemicals to search for their herbivore hosts to oviposit on. Megarhyssanortoni (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a parasitoid of siricid wasp larvae which areconcealed inside tree stems of several coniferous tree species. This parasitoid is used as a biologicalcontrol agent against the global pine pest Sirex noctilio Fabricius (Hymenoptera: Siricidae), whichengages in an obligate nutritional symbiosis with the fungus Amylostereum areolatum (Chaillet exFr.) Boidin (Russulales). We explore the chemical cues that could be used by M. nortoni femaleswhile foraging for hosts on the two pine species most commonly planted in commercial forests inPatagonia, Argentina, Pinus contorta Douglas ex Loudon var. latif...
