| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Males of Rhyssa persuasoria and Megarhyssa nortoni nortoni aggregate around emerging females, apparently using an odorous liquid secreted from the mandibular glands. The identity of the chemicals are established and the chemical and behavioral aspects of the two species are discussed. |
