“…Methanol is attractive not only to H. parallela , but also to the root-eating beetle Rhizophagus ferrugineus and H. oblita [ 18 , 53 ]. Geraniol, as a compound in bait, is attractive to both sexes of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica [ 54 , 55 ] and to the leaf beetle Monolepta hieroglyphica as key plant volatiles [ 56 , 57 ]. These results support that HparOBP14 may play a role in oviposition behaviors of H. parallela female adults.…”

Holotrichia parallela is one of the agriculturally important scarab beetle pests in China. In this study, HparOBP14 was cloned, which is the most abundantly expressed among the OBP genes in the legs of female H. parallela adults. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis showed that HparOBP14 has a Plus-C structure motif. The expression profile analysis revealed that HparOBP14 expression was the highest in the female antennae and then in the legs. The fluorescence competitive binding experiment of the recombinant HparOBP14 protein showed that HparOBP14 had an affinity with 6-methyl-5-heptene-2-one (plant volatile), 3-methylindole, p-cymene, methanol, formaldehyde, α-pinene, and geraniol (organic fertilizer volatile). Knockdown HparOBP14 expression decreased significantly the EAG response of the injected female adults to p-cymene, methanol, formaldehyde, α-pinene, and geraniol. Similarly, the injected female adults were significantly less attracted to geraniol and methanol. Therefore, HparOBP14 might bind organic matter volatiles during oviposition. These results are not only helpful to analyze the olfactory recognition mechanism of female adult H. parallela when choosing suitable oviposition sites, but also to provide target genes for green prevention and control of H. parallela in the future.

“…Chemical refuse in cities may broadly disrupt sexual communication. Human pest control often uses synthetic materials to exploit chemical or visual mating cues of insects (e.g., Chen et al, 2014 ), suggesting the potential for human products to disrupt sexual communication. Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), mostly released from the manufacture and use of anthropogenic materials, are commonly found in urban sewage effluent (Kumar et al, 2020 ) and are known to have widespread impacts on male mating behavior (Bertram et al, 2020 ).…”

“…This genus has several invalid synonyms, Metabolus Fairmaire, Symmachia Brenske, and Ablotemus Paulsen and Smith (Paulsen & Smith, 2003; Smetana & Smith, 2006). Little research has addressed systematics, biology, ecology, and behavior of this genus (Chen, Klein, Li, Li, & Sheng, 2014; Jia, Lu, Zhou, & Jiang, 2020; Liu, Zhang, & Wang, 1997; Smetana & Smith, 2006; Vitali, 2019).…”

Morphology, microstructure, and distribution of antennal sensilla were compared between female and male Pseudosymmachia flavescens (Brenske) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae). Lamellate antennae of P. flavescens were shown to have typical scape, pedicel, and flagellum segments. The flagellum consists of a four‐segmented funicle and a three‐segmented club. The lengths of their pedicel and funicle were found to be similar in females and males. Distinct sexual differences were observed in the length of lamellar segments. Nine types/subtypes of sensilla were identified on the antennae of both sexes, including Böhm sensilla, sensilla trichodea, sensilla basiconica (SB), and two subtypes for sensilla chaetica, sensilla coeloconica, and sensilla placodea each. Olfactory sensilla (e.g., SB and placodea) are mainly located on three lamellar segments of the antennal club. Variation was also seen in abundance of various types of antennal sensilla, with males possessing significantly more sensilla than females. Sensilla placodea were the most abundant, and their number in males was twice of that in females, showing a clear sexual dimorphism. The difference in the distribution of sensilla placodea might reflect their roles in sexual chemical communication.
