There are 109 spp. of primary and secondary parasitoids associated with Z. diniana Guenee [a pest of larch] in the central European Alps. Ninety species are primary, 6 facultative secondary and 13 obligate secondary parasitoids. At the family level, the composition of the complex seems to be the same in every outbreak area of the host, with ichneumonids predominating. In the Upper Engadine Valley (Switzerland), where intensive studies were conducted over a period of 3 consecutive outbreak periods (28 yr), 65% of the complex is represented. The nomenclature of Z. diniana parasitoids was clarified as far as possible. Many species names cited in the literature are synonyms or misidentifications. The complex of parasitoids, together with the associated predators of Z. diniana, is unable to slow down the rate of density increase of the host in outbreak areas. This fact has stimulated investigations on the most important parasitoid species, i.e., Phytodietus griseanae Kerr (Ichneumonidae), Sympiesis punctifrons Thomson, Dicladocerus westwoodi and Elachertus argiss Walker (Eulophidae) over a period of .apprx. 10 yr. Recent research has demonstrated that immigration of Z. diniana moths into the outbreak areas during the phase of host density increase is very important. The rate of increase of the natural enemies (which are univoltine) can never equal or exceed that of their host; consequently, control by these natural enemies alone is not possible.
