AbstractField testing of a large number of synthetic compounds and many combinations of them revealed that male moths of the pale western cutworm, Agrotis orthogonia Morrison, were attracted to combinations of Z-5-dodecen-1-yl acetate and Z-7-dodecen-1-yl acetate. The most satisfactory attractants were combinations of these two compounds in ratios of 1:2 to 1:5 at 10 to 25 μg/septum dispenser. The effect of the attractant was strongly inhibited by the addition of 21% Z-7-dodecen-1-ol.

A New Species

Phyllonorycter obandai, new species, was discovered in Kenya using traps baited with the synthetic sex attractant Z8-tetradecen-1-yl acetate. This is the first species of Phyllonorycter recorded from Kenya. External morphological features of adult males, along with their genitalia are described and illustrated from specimens attracted to the traps. A distribution map for P. obandai is also presented.

AbstractMale moths of striped cutworm, Euxoa tessellata (Harris), were specifically attracted to blends of Z-5-tetradecenyl acetate or Z-5-hexadecenyl acetate with Z-7-hexadecenyl acetate. The most satisfactory quantities of these components per septum dispenser were: Z-5-tetradecenyl and Z-7-hexadecenyl acetates at 2.5 and 500 μg, or Z-5-hexadecenyl and Z-7-hexadecenyl acetates each at 500 μg. The addition of 1.0% Z-7-hexadecenol relative to Z-7-hexadecenyl acetate in either of these blends inhibited the attraction of males. The blend involving Z-5-tetradecenyl acetate is recommended for monitoring purposes.

AbstractThe sex pheromone components of the black army cutworm, Actebia fennica (Tauscher), were identified in abdomen-tip extracts from calling female moths. The primary pheromone component was (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate. Although (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate was detectable only in trace quantities in the extracts, it was the major component in the best synthetic blend for attraction of male moths. The most effective synthetic blend was (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate at a ratio of 1:20. No other component detected in the extracts increased trap capture of males when added to the two-component blend; however, (Z)-5-dodecenyl acetate, (Z)-7-dodecenol, and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate reduced catches. This two-component blend will be useful for studying the habits of the adults and for population monitoring.

AbstractField testing of a large number of synthetic compounds and two-component combinations thereof revealed an attractant for the adult males of Leucania commoides Guenée. Several three-component combinations were tested and the largest numbers of L. commoides males were attracted to Z-9-tetradecen-1-yl acetate, Z-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate, and Z-11-hexadecen-1-ol in ratios of 4:4:1 to 10:5:2. The attraction of this species was inhibited by Z-9-tetradecen- 1-ol.

Crymodes Devastator

We reported previously (Steck et al. 1977) that equal-parts mixtures of (Z)-11-hexadecenal (Z11-16:Ald) and (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate (Z11-16:Ac) attract male Crymodes devastator (Brace) moths to field traps, and that attraction is enhanced by incorporation of (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate (Z7-12:Ac) in the lure. During subsequent studies with sex lures for this species we discovered that (Z)-11-hexadecenol (Zll-16:OH) is much more effective than Z7-12:Ac as a trapping synergist.During 1978 many structural analogs of the sex attractant components were tested as lure synergists by adding 20% of each analog to a basic 2:l Z11-16:Ald + Z11-16:Ac lure, using numbers of males trapped as the criterion of effect. Z5- and Z7-10:Ac; Z5-, Z7-, and Z9-12:Ac; Z5-, Z7-, Z9-, and Z11-14:Ac; Z5-, Z7-, and Z9-16:Ac were tested in this way, as were the corresponding alcohols and aldehydes and Zll-16:OH. The (E) isomers of these along with Ell-16:Ald and E11-16:Ac were finally tested.
