Studies were carried out between 1992 and 1997 in southwestern Benin to investigate the establishment, spread, and impact of Teretriosoma nigrescens Lewis, a natural enemy of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn). Trap data, using the 2-component synthetic aggregation pheromone of...
