Funding Acknowledgements

Funding for the traps and lures were provided by the National Sirex Coordination Committee. Dick Bashford (Forestry Tasmania) provided assistance and advice in establishing the traps. We thank Dave Olive (Forests NSW, Grafton) for servicing and monitoring the pheromone traps established in northern NSW and Ian Hides (Forests NSW, Tumut) for looking after the pheromone traps in the southern region. The two scolytids A. latecompressus and H. eruditus were identified by Roger Beaver. The draft manuscript was improved with comments from Robert Eldridge and Martin Horwood (Forest Science Centre, Department of Industry & Investment NSW).
