Males of several species of longhorned beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae produce sex or aggregation pheromones consisting of 2,3-hexanediols and/or hydroxyhexanones. We tested the hypothesis that this diol/hydroxyketone pheromone motif is highly conserved within the subfamily, and the resulting prediction that multiple cerambycine species will be attracted to compounds of this type. We also tested the concept that live traps baited with generic blends of these compounds could be used as a source of live insects from which pheromones could be collected and identified. Traps placed in a mature oak woodland and baited with generic blends of racemic 2-hydroxyhexan-3-one and 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one captured adults of both sexes of three cerambycine species: Xylotrechus nauticus (Mannerheim), Phymatodes lecontei Linsley, and Phymatodes decussatus decussatus (LeConte). Odors collected from male X. nauticus contained a 9:1 ratio of two male-specific compounds, (R)-and (S)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one. Field trials with synthetic compounds determined that traps baited with (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one (94% ee), alone or in blends with other isomers, attracted similar numbers of X. nauticus of both sexes, whereas (S)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one (94% ee) attracted significantly fewer beetles. Phymatodes lecontei and P. d. decussatus also were caught in traps baited with hydroxyhexanones, as well as a few specimens of two other cerambycine species, Neoclytus modestus modestus Fall (both sexes) and Brothylus gemmulatus LeConte (only females). Male N. m. modestus produced (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one, which was not present in extracts from females. Neoclytus m. modestus of both sexes also responded to lures that included (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one as one of the components. The only male-specific compound found in extracts from P. lecontei was (R)-2-methylbutan-1-ol, and adults of both sexes were attracted to racemic 2-methylbutan-1-ol in field bioassays. Surprisingly, P. lecontei of both sexes also were attracted to (R)-and (S)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-ones, although neither compound was detected in extracts from this species. Males of all five beetle species had gland pores on their prothoraces that were similar in structure to those that have been associated with volatile pheromone production in other cerambycine species. The attraction of multiple cerambycine species of two tribes to (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one in this study, and in earlier studies with other cerambycine species, suggests that this compound is a widespread aggregation pheromone component in this large and diverse subfamily. Overall, the attraction of multiple species from different cerambycine tribes to this compound at a single field site supports the hypothesis that the hydroxyketone pheromone structural motif is highly conserved within this subfamily.

For these same species, lure type also significantly affected the efficacy of detection, i.e., the proportion of traps that captured at least one specimen of a given species. The combination of racemic E-fuscumol and spruce blend (a blend of five monoterpenes) positively affected mean catch of Tetropium castaneum (L.). Racemic 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one (K6), alone or combined with ethanol, increased mean catch of Anaglyptus colobotheoides Bates. The combination of K6 and ethanol increased mean catch of Phymatodes testaceus (L.), and the combination of racemic 3-hydroxyoctan-2-one and ethanol increased mean catch of Molorchus minor (L.). Use of longhorn beetle pheromone lures in trapping surveys increases the mean catch and probability of detecting certain species of Cerambycidae, including those that may be exotic and potentially invasive. Sample-based rarefaction indicated that eight traps per site were insufficient to detect all of the longhorn species potentially attracted by any individual lure treatment, i.e., species accumulation curves failed to reach an asymptote in most cases.

“…For example, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, involved in the communication system of Anoplophora malasiaca at both long and short ranges, have been isolated from wounded host plants (Citrus unshiu) (Yasui et al, 2008;Yasui, 2009). Kairomones are often used by Cerambycidae as part of their communication system and have been used as bait to catch adult beetles regarded as agricultural pests, for example, Arhopalus tristis (Suckling et al, 2001), M. alternatus (Ikeda et al, 1980;Fan et al, 2007), Tetropium fuscum and T. castaneum (Sweeney et al, 2004(Sweeney et al, , 2006. Kairomones have been classified into four groups, according to how they benefit the receiving organism: foraging, enemy avoidance, sex and aggregation kairomones (Ruther et al, 2002).…”

“…Several chemical compounds of vegetal origin have been reported that attract the following Cerambycidae species: Monochanus alternatus (Ikeda et al, 1980;Yamasaki, 1990, 1991), Phoracantha semipunctata (Barata et al, 2000), Anaglyptus subfasciatus, Demonax transilis (Ikeda et al, 1993;Nakashima et al, 1994), Hoplocerambyx spinicornus (Varshney et al, 2005), Tetropium fuscum, T. castaneum and T. cinnamopterum (Sweeney et al, 2004(Sweeney et al, , 2006.

Steirastoma breve is one of the most important pests in cocoa plantations in the Neotropics. Preliminary studies suggest that the chemical communication system in S. breve may be modulated by kairomones produced by cocoa plants and pheromones released by males. We examined the role of Theobroma cacao brushwood in the communication system of S. breve under field conditions. Sixty kilograms of T. cacao and Bauhinia sp. branches were cut, grouped into separate piles, and placed in an experimental cocoa plantation as an odor source. The sex and number of S. breve adults landing on each pile were registered during 23 days from 9:00 to 15:00 h. Each individual arriving at a pile was marked with a coded color and then released onto the same pile. All behavioral activities undertaken by S. breve were evaluated and flight behavior towards the T. cacao piles was described. S. breve adults were attracted to T. cacao piles placed under both sunny and shaded conditions, but were not attracted to Bauhinia sp. S. breve males dispersed more in shaded piles than in those placed in the sun, and the proportion of encounters between sexes was higher in the piles at which they had first arrived. Analysis of the data confirmed the presence and importance of T. cacao kairomones in the chemical communication system of this important cocoa pest.
