Identificaton of the Alarm and Sex Pheromones of the Leaf‑Footed Bug, Leptoglossus zonatus (Heteroptera: Coreidae)

Abstract: The leaf-footed bug, Leptoglossus zonatus (Heteroptera: Coreidae), is mainly found in maize fields in Brazil. In this work, we elucidated and quantified the volatile compounds from nymphs and adults of L. zonatus. The defensive compounds produced by nymphs are aldehydes and oxoalkenals, with some compounds showing different proportions between instars. For the first time, 5-ethyl-2(5H)-furanone has been identified as a defensive compound for a species of this family. In adults, the alarm pheromone includes hex… Show more

“…were greater contribution on the distinction of male and female eggs during E 1 and E 3 ( Table S2 ). Hexanal showed a significant difference between male and female Leptolossus zobatus ( Inoue et al., 2019 ) and heptanal could reduce its sensitivity to the peripheral and central olfactory level independently of mating status ( Deisig et al., 2012 ). Hexanal, heptanal, and nonanal were also reported have the potential to attract female T. infestans ( Fontan et al., 2002 ).…”

“…Current management strategies for Leptoglossus are limited, in part, because of inadequate monitoring strategies [19]. Pheromones are known to play a role in the reproduction and aggregation of both L. clypealis and L. zonatus [20,21,22]. However, they are not yet commercially available for monitoring, and while some of the pheromones have been characterized and synthesized, no field applications have been developed.…”

“…Damage is significantly higher from the larger bug species, L. zonatus , than from L. clypealis . Currently, there are few control options for these insects, but investigations are underway of semiochemicals and other attractants which might be used in traps or lures to monitor or control these insects [7,36,37,38,39]. This study provides evidence that feeding by L. clypealis and L. zonatus can result in significant damage to almonds.…”
