Abstract:"We found that vittatalactone, specifically (3R,4R)-3-methyl-4-[(1S,3S,5S)-1,3,5,7-tetramethyloctyl]oxetan-2-one, is the male-produced aggregation pheromone of the western striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma trivittatum (Mannerheim), as was previously shown for the striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). A synthetic mixture containing 9% of the authentic natural pheromone, is attractive to both sexes of both species in the field, as demonstrated by trapping using baited and unbaited sticky panels in California and earlier in Maryland. Females of both species do not produce detectable vittatalactone. This finding expands the usefulness of the synthetic vittatalactone mixture for pest management throughout the range of both A. vittatum and A. trivittatum. Development of vittatalactone time-release formulations combined with cucurbitacin feeding stimulants offer the potential for selective and environmentally-friendly cucurbit pest management tactics"
