The establishment <strong>of</strong> the parasitoids was monitored by rearing last-instar larch casebearer<br />

larvae and pupae collected at the release sites. These rearings showed that A.<br />

pumila became established, but its numbers seem to be declining as another parasitoid,<br />

C. laricinellae, is increasing over the years. Quednau (1970) has shown that the<br />

multivoltine C. laricinellae increased at the expense <strong>of</strong> A. pumila in Quebec.<br />

C. laricinellae was apparently introduced in the Pacific Northwest with its host or it was<br />

released inadvertently with the early introductions <strong>of</strong> A. pumila (Ryan et al. 1974). In<br />

1974 a small number <strong>of</strong> imported C. laricinellae were released in British Columbia; in<br />

1980 greater numbers <strong>of</strong> the parasitoid were relocated from older infestations in the<br />

province.
