Abstract：Olfactory communication is one of the main ways for parasitic wasps to communicate with the environment, playing an important role in the process of host seeking, mating, and oviposition site selection. In this review, the research progress on the olfactory genes involved in the peripheral olfactory recognition system of the parasitic wasps were summarized, and the research significance and application prospects were also discussed. Studying the olfactory genes of the parasitic wasps is helpful in elucidating the molecular mechanism of recognition, reception and conversion of external chemosignals. Therefore, these findings can provide theoretical guidance for green prevention and control of agricultural and forestry pests, and are of great significance for the development of mod‐
ern biological control.
