Abstract

Introduced European species comprised 5 of the 6 most common and 8 of the 11 total species of leafrollers found on apple and pear in the Vancouver district in 1977. Parasitism was low. Two of the leafroller parasites, <i>Apanteles ater</i> (Ratz.) and <i>A. longicauda</i> (Wesm.), and a gracilariid parasite, <i>Achrysocharoides zwölferi</i> (Delucchi), are European species new to North America.
