Eriborus terebrans

Synergy between polar and nonpolar components is indicated for sex attraction in the larval parasitoid Eriborus terebrans (Ichneumonidae) [58]. Males show several behaviors when exposed to a polar component with chemical... 

A sex pheromone has been implicated in the courtship behavior of the ichneumonid wasp, Campoletis sonorensis (Vinson, 1972). Although the exact site of production of the sex pheromone is not identified, Vinson suggested that the sex pheromone gland in this insect is associated with the cuticle. In another ichneumonid, Eriborus terebrans, one of the sex pheromone components is a hydrocarbon (Shu and Jones, 1993). We speculate that in ichneumonids the pheromone is synthesized in Class II oenocytes, similar to the hydrocarbon secretions produced in other insects (Schal et al., 1998).
