Determine the species complex parasitizing Orchestes fagi in Europe, their known hosts, and degree of host specificity and phenology by surveying the literature and by collecting O. fagi larvae and pupae from sites in Switzerland and France, and rearing out parasitoid species. Assess the levels of parasitism and life stages of the weevil in each collection. Identify the species of parasitoids reared or dissected from O. fagi mines using morphological and/or molecular methods. Synthesize this information to assess and determine which parasitoid species, if any, would be suitable for classical biological control of Orchestes fagi in Canada.
