The female sex pheromone of Rhizoglyphus setosus Manson (Astigmata: Acaridae) was identified as S-isorobinal (4S-4-isopropenyl-3-oxo-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxyaldehyde), which stimulated males sexually and enhanced the frequency of the male's tapping and mounting behavior. Although the female hexane extract indicated no sign of sex pheromone activity against tested males, possibly due to the presence of the alarm pheromone neryl formate, an SiO2 column fraction containing isorobinal elicited sex pheromone activity at a dose of one female equivalent. The stereochemistry of natural isorobinal was identified as S by an HPLC using a chiral column. Both S- and R-isorobinals exhibited maximum activity at the same dose of 1 and 10 ng with a convex dose-response relationship. Amounts of S-isorobinal were determined to be 11.7 +/- 1.0 ng per female and 6.4 +/- 1.3 ng per male by GLC. This is the second example of two pheromones (the alarm pheromone neryl formate, and the sex pheromone S-isorobinal) demonstrated to be components of the same opisthonotal gland secretion.

“…ovatus (Kuwahara et al, 1992) and Ac. immobilis (Sato et al, 1993), also use this compound as their female sex pheromone. The compound also functions as the alarm pheromone of Tyrophagus perniciosus (Leal et al, 1988), and has been detected as a major or minor component with unknown functions from Dermatophagoides farinae (Kuwahara et al, 1990), Ac.…”

“…The former case has been postulated for Acarus siro (Levinson et al, 1989), and the corresponding active compound(s) have been identified in the related species Ac. immobilis as a mixture of hydrocarbons and 2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzaldehyde (hereafter abbreviated as 2,6-HMB), respectively (Sato et al, 1993). As examples of the latter case, female sex pheromones have been identified from the following five species: Sancassania (ϭCaloglyphus) polyphyllae (b-acaridial [2(E)-(4-methyl-3-pentenylidene)-butanedial], Leal et al, 1989a), Aleuroglyphus ovatus (2,6-HMB, Kuwahara et al, 1992), Sancassania rodriguezi (undecane, Mori et al, 1995), an unidentified Sancassania sp.…”

2-Hydroxy-6-methylbenzaldehyde (2,6-HMB) was identified as the female sex pheromone from the acarid mite, Cosmoglyphus hughesi. Although the sex pheromone functioned to stimulate males to tap females and then mount, it was detectable as a major component of hexane extracts not only from females but also from males and protonymphs. Its contents were estimated to be 283.1Ϯ49.4 ng per female, 135.2Ϯ25.5 ng per male and 3.8Ϯ0.4 ng per protonymph. Sexual activity was induced in males by exposure of a filter paper impregnated with 100 ng of synthetic 2,6-HMB. Behavioral observation demonstrated that the male could not distinguish females from males upon attempt to mate.

“…2-Hydroxy-6-methylbenzaldehyde (2) was found in seven species of acarid mites,6) and is particularly known as an alarm pheromone of Tyrophagus perniciosus,7) and as a male excitant sex pheromone of Aleuroglyphus ovatus 8 ) and Acarus immobilis. 9 ) Hexyl 2-formyl-3-hydroxybenzoate (3, hexyl rhizoglyphinate),10) and methyl 2-formyl-3-hydroxybenzoate (4, methyl rhizoglyphinate )6) have been isolated from Rhizoglyphus robini and Caloglyphus sp., respectively. These'two rhizoglyphinates demonstrated strong antifungal activity, 10) suggesting their defensive function toward micro-organisms.…”
