“…According to previous field tests by Ando et al in Hachioji-shi (Tokyo), A. sapporensis were attracted more strongly to the 1 : 3 : 1 blend of Z11-16:Ac, Z11-16:Ald and Z11-16:OH. 4) In our field tests in Kameoka-shi (Kyoto), the ratio of 1 : 7 : 2 (ϭ20 : 140 : 40) was the most successful in attracting males among the lures tested, although strong attraction was also observed in a ratio of 1 : 3 : 1 (ϭ40 : 120 : 40). The amount of Z11-16:Ald was significant in the blend ratio of three components.…”

Three monoenyl compounds were detected in GC/MS analysis of a hexane extract of pheromone glands from virgin female Acrolepiopsis sapporensis. They were identified as (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate (Z11-16:Ac), (Z)-11-hexadecenal (Z11-16:Ald) and (Z)-11-hexadecenol (Z11-16:OH), respectively, by chemical derivatization and synthesis of both geometric isomers. The ratio of three components in the sex pheromone gland of female moths was 100 : 10 : 23 with GC/MS analyses. In field tests, blends of the three components were evidenced to attract male moths in a Welsh onion field. Synthetic (Z)-11-hexadecenal was the principal component to catch more males.

“…and are the only compounds used within the genus. While the pheromones of limacodids have been poorly studied to date, other moths within the family almost exclusively respond to 12 carbon alcohols and aldehydes as attractants (Ando et al., 1981; Chisholm & Reed, 1985; Sasaerila et al., 1997, 2000a). The exception is Heterogenea asella Denis & Schiffermüller, which is reported to respond to ( Z,E )‐9,11‐tetradecadienal (Witzgall et al., 2004).…”

The nettle caterpillar, Darna pallivitta (Moore) (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae), is an invasive pest on the island of Hawai’i, causing defoliation of ornamental nursery stock and posing a human health hazard due to their urticating hairs that can cause painful stings. Wind tunnel and field tests with 2–3‐day‐old moths revealed behavioral responses of males to caged females, which is indicative of a female‐released sex pheromone. Coupled gas chromatography‐electroantennogram detection (GC‐EAD) analysis of female abdominal tip extracts revealed two male electroantennographically active compounds produced by female D. pallivitta. Mass spectral analysis and subsequent synthesis identified the active compounds as n‐butyl (E)‐7,9‐decadienoate (major component) and ethyl (E)‐7,9‐decadienoate (minor component), both structurally similar to sex pheromone components previously reported from related Darna spp. Additionally, methyl (E)‐7,9‐decadienoate was identified from female abdominal tip extracts and a strong EAD response was elicited by the synthetic compound. n‐Butyl (E)‐7,9‐decadienoate was the only component detected by solid phase microextraction (SPME) collections from single calling female moths, however, the apparent absence of minor components may be a result of their lower abundance. Field trials showed significant attraction of male moths to all lures containing the n‐butyl ester, while the methyl and ethyl esters did not increase trap captures at the levels and ratios tested. Synthetic pheromone lures (2.5 mg) outperformed virgin moths as attractant baits and could be used for monitoring D. pallivitta populations of the island of Hawai’i and detection on other Hawai’ian islands and at ports and nurseries that receive plants from Hawai’i (e.g., California and Florida).

EAG-active compounds in the virgin female extract of an olethreutid moth, Strepsicrates semicanella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), were identified as (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate (Z7-12:Ac) and (Z)-7-dodecen-1-ol (Z7-12:OH) by comparison of retention values measured by GC-EAG analyses, and only the former compound was confirmed to show attractiveness. The amounts of these compounds were estimated to be less than the noise level (Ͻ30 pg/female), since corresponding GC peaks were not observed. In the field, males were captured with traps baited with Z7-12:Ac but not with Z7-12:OH. The attractiveness of Z7-12:Ac was slightly increased by blending with Z7-12:OH, but the difference was not significant. Nevertheless, it was decided to use the 90 : 10 blend of Z7-12:Ac and Z7-12:OH for field attraction because of the clear EAG activity of Z7-12:OH. The 90 : 10 blend showed maximum attractions at 0.5-5 mg when loaded on rubber septa. GC-EAG analyses suggested the presence of dodecyl acetate and dodecan-1-ol in the extract, but these compounds showed neither a synergistic nor inhibitory effect on male attraction in the field. The unusually low optimum doses for male attraction suggest that communication disruption would be effective for control of this insect pest.
