| Abstract: | "Three compounds have been identified as sex pheromone components produced by female fall webworm moths,Hyphantria cunea (Drury). These compounds are: (Z,Z)-9,12-octadecadienal (I), (Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-octadecatrienal (II), and (Z,Z)-3,6-cis-9,10-epoxyheneicosadiene (III). The ratio of these compounds was approximately 5ratio6ratio13, respectively, in female tip extracts prepared from U.S.S.R, insects and approximately 1ratio8ratio21, respectively, in extracts from U.S. insects. The ratio in female effluvia trapped from U.S. insects was 1ratio6ratio27, respectively. Compound III plus either I or II is effective in eliciting upwind flight in a wind tunnel. Compounds I, II, and III are also components of the sex pheromone system of the saltmarsh caterpillar moth,Estigmene acrea (Drury)" |
