AbstractThe frequency of defecation in relation to constant0/simulated outdoor temperatures and larval age (instar) was examined under laboratory conditions in four species of pine sawflies (Diprionidae): Gilpinia frutetorum (Fabricius), Diprion pini (Linnaeus), D. similis (Hartig) and Macrodiprion nemoralis (Enslin). Defecation interval and total faecal production was regular under higher constant temperatures (higher production in younger instars, second and third) and production significantly decreased under varying air temperatures during the same period (24 hours) when larvae of younger instars were influenced more by lower temperatures. The influence of larval age (instar) on faecal production was insignificant if larvae were exposed to varying temperatures during 24 hours. Faecal production and temperature were positively correlated in each of the four species and instars tested, as well as in total (all the test species and instars combined). Implications of the results for estimating canopy larval density by frass-drop measurements in the field are briefly discussed.

Cocoons of Diprion sertifer, Geoffr., containing nearly eight millions Microplectron fuscipennis, Zett., were collected in Europe in 1934 and despatched to Canada for the control of the Spruce Sawfly, Diprion polytomum, Htg.This parasite is widely distributed throughout Europe as a primary parasite of several species of pine sawflies of the genus Diprion.A full account of the biology and a detailed description of the various stages is given.In the laboratory it was reared in large numbers on the cocoons of D. polytomum from Canada.Its chances of success in Canada depend on its acclimatisation and the accessibility and quantity of host material. Its tremendous fecundity and rapid rate of increase are greatly in its favour.

Aptesis basizona (Grav.), a parasite of pine sawflies in Europe, was propagated at Belleville, Ont. (Green, 1938) for release against the European spruce sawfly, Diprion hercyniae (Htg.), the European pine sawfly, Neodiprion sertifer (Geoff.) and other Diprionidae. Development of the insects in the laboratory was allowed to continue until feeding was completed and cocoons were spun, and was then retarded by placing the insects in cold storage pending shipment to release areas. Frequently stock for propagation was incubated after a period of cold storage, and occasionally the schedule was interrupted by decreases in the reproductive capacity of the adults. It seemed that there was some relationship between the fertility of the adults and the temperatures at which the immature stages were held, both while feeding and after they had reached the fully-fed stage. Experiments were initiated to investigate this hypothesis.
