“…Dodecanol has been reported as sex pheromone in some Lepidoptera female (Carde et al, 1979; Causse et al, 1988; Kochansky et al, 1978) and it has been evaluated as potential molecule to be used in pheromone‐based traps disrupting mating process to control pest infestation in agriculture and forestry (Zhu et al, 2008; X. L. Gu et al, 2010). Other chemical components as 3‐butinol, 2,3‐epoxy‐1‐butanol, and 1,3‐butanediol found in D. saccharalis mandibular glands are alcohols and have been claimed as sexual and aggregation pheromones in Lepidoptera and Coleoptera (Ando et al, 2008; Enders et al, 2005; Hoddle et al, 2009; Kumar et al, 2015; Lange & Fering, 1988; Muto & Mori, 2003, 2005; Ohmasa et al, 1991; Pajares et al, 2013; Wakamura et al, 2009; Zarbin et al, 2007).…”
