Notizen: The Pheromone Receptor System of Male Eulia ministrana L., with Notes on Other Cnephasiini Moths

Abstract The antennal Sensilla trichodea of male Eulia ministrana (Tortricidae: Cnephasiini) contain specialist receptor cells for the sex-attractant components (Z)-9-and (Z)-11-tetra-decenyl acetate and the attraction-inhibitors (E)-11 -tetra-decenyl acetate, (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate, and (Z)-11 -hexa-decenyl acetate. The significance of the latter two compounds as potential sex pheromone components in Tortricidae is considered.

Synthetic Blend

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.

The antennal Sensilla trichodea in male Adoxophyes orana (F. v. R.) contain specialist receptor cells for 3 reported pheromone components (Z9- and Z11-tetradecenyl acetates and Z9-tetradecen -1-ol) and, additionally, the analogues Z9 ,E11- and Z9,E12-tetradecadienyl acetate. Possible behavioural functions of these dienes are briefly considered.
