    Notes: Abstract The two-spotted stinkbug, Perillus bioculatus, is a predator of the Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Behavioral tests revealed that P. bioculatus is attracted to potato plants, Solanum tuberosum L. (Solanaceae), infested by the CPB. Electroantennograms from the antennae of P. bioculatus were recorded in response to compounds present in the headspace of CPB-infested potato plants. (Z)-3-Hexen-1-ol and 2-phenylethanol elicited the highest EAG amplitudes. Linalool, 4,8-dimethyl-1,3(E),7-nonatriene, nonanal, decanal, and (R)-(+)-limonene evoked lower EAG amplitudes. The major headspace components β-caryophyllene and β-selinene produced only weak EAG responses. Antennal sensitivity of the CPB to (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol was higher than that of P. bioculatus, whereas the stinkburg was more sensitive to 2-phenylethanol, β-caryophyllene, (R)-(+)-limonene, and decanal. Among these compounds, 2-phenylethanol is of special interest since it was observed to be emitted by potato foliage only after being damaged by CPBs.

    Notes: Abstract The predaceous stinkbug Perillus bioculatus is attracted towards volatiles emitted by damaged potato plants. Whereas mechanically damaged plants lost attractiveness 1 h after damage was inflicted, attraction was long-lasting when the plants were damaged by Colorado potato beetles Leptinotarsa decemlineata, a prey of P. bioculatus. A range of sesquiterpenoids was previously shown to be induced upon beetle damage. In order to evaluate the potential role of sesquiterpenoids in the attraction response, volatiles from damaged potato plants were collected and analyzed with GC-MS and GC-EAG. The antennae of P. bioculatus responded to β-caryophyllene, α-humulene, (E)-β-farnesene, (−)-germacrene D, and germacrene D-4-ol. Two sesquiterpenes that coeluted, α-zingiberene and bicyclogermacrene, together also elicited olfactory responses of P. bioculatus, whereas the individual compounds did not. The response of P. bioculatus to a variety of sesquiterpenes at low dosages suggests a role for these compounds in prey detection of this stinkbug.
