Abstract: | "Z-8-Dodecenyl acetate (Z8-12ratioAc),E-8-dodecenyl acetate (E8-12ratioAc),Z-8-tetradecenyl acetate (Z8-14ratioAc),Z-10-tetradecenyl acetate (Z10-14ratioAc), andZ-8-dodecen-1-ol (Z8-12ratioOH) were identified in the proportions 100ratio1ratio30ratio5ratio2 in female sex gland extracts ofGrapholita funebrana, accompanied by saturated acetates from 12 to 20 carbons with tetradecyl acetate predominating.Z10-14ratioAc has not previously been described as a lepidopteran sex pheromone component. Best attraction of males is obtained withZ8-12ratioAc in the presence of a higher proportion ofE8-12ratioAc than in the female. Inclusion of the 14-carbon acetates did not augmentG. funebrana catches but inhibitedG. molesta. On the other hand, addition ofZ8-12ratioOH at the level optimal forG. molesta reduced attraction ofG. funebrana" |
