Is of serious concern. The role of chemical communication, in relation to proposed control tactics, of predators and bark beetles will be discussed. Emphasis will be on Thanaslmus dublus (F.) (Coleoptera Clerldae) and Medetera blstrlata Parent (Dlptera Dollchopodldae) which are primary predators of the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Coleoptera Scolytidae).
