Abstract: The pine sawyer Monochamus galloprovincialis is the European vector of the recently introduced pine woodnematode. This nematode is the causal organism of pine wilt disease, a serious tree killer in East Asia. Efficacious baitsand traps to monitor and control this beetle are now required. The effect of bark beetle (Ips spp.) pheromonecomponents, released individually (ipsenol) or in blends (ipsenol, ipsdienol, cis-verbenol and methyl-butenol), togetherwith host volatiles (turpentine or a-pinene and ethanol) on M. galloprovincialis trap catches has been studied in Spain. A kairomonal response by male and female of M. galloprovincialis to Ips semiochemicals was found. Beetles were moreattracted to host blends supplemented with bark beetle pheromones than to host volatiles alone. Ipsenol alone wasattractive to pine sawyers, and was synergistic with a-pinene and ethanol. The full blend of the four Ips semiochemicalsand the host compounds was highly attractive. Multiple-funnel traps were as effective as black cross-vane traps incapturing this insect when the escape of trapped beetles was prevented. Trapping of non-target bark beetle predatorswas also evaluated. The trogossitid Temnochila coerulea and clerid Thanasimus formicarius were kairomonally attractedto and killed in traps baited with bark beetle pheromones. These results suggest that effective monitoring ofM. galloprovincialis would be possible by baiting any of these traps with host volatiles and Ips semiochemicals, butreduction of the lure components and trap modification to minimize impact on predators should be considered.
