Ctenopseustis Obliquana

The sex pheromone of Ctenopseustis obliquana was found to contain (Z)-8-tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)-5-tetradecenyl acetate in approximately 4:1 ratio. No A 11-tetradecenyl compound was detected in C. obliquana, in contrast with the pheromones thus far reported from species of the tribe Archipini elsewhere in the world.

Planotortrix Excessana

Abstract Planotortrix excessana was found to include moths of two distinct pheromone-types which were not mutually attractive. Tetradecyl acetate and (Z)-8-tetradecenyl acetate were identified as pheromone components in one, and two other tetradecenyl acetates, probably (Z)-5-and (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate, in the other. By contrast with other pheromones reported from the tribe Archipini,⊿11-tetradecenyl compounds were not found in either pheromone-type.

AbstractZ8-tetradecenyl acetate (Z8-14OAc andZ8-tetradecenyl alcohol (Z8-14OH) were identified as sex pheromone components of the eyespotted bud moth, Spilonota ocellana (Denis and Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae). Compounds were identified by gas chrornatographic-eleclroantennographic (GC-EAD) and GC-mass spectroscopic analyses and field tested in apple orchards in the Okanagan Valley, B.C. Although Z8-14OAc alone was attractive to male S. ocellana, the addition of 1–5% Z8-14OH strongly synergized its attraction. Field tests comparing the attractiveness of virgin female S. ocellana with various doses of a 99:1 blend of Z8-14OAc and Z8-14OH indicated the natural sex pheromone has only two significant components. A 99:1 blend of Z8-14OAC and Z8-14OH is suggested for monitoring and control of S. ocellana populations in British Columbia.

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.

Bertha Armyworm

The sex pheromone of bertha armyworm, Mamestra configurata (Walker), was reported to be (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate (Z11-16:Ac) and an unidentified tetradecenyl acetate. Electroantennogram responses of male antennae to synthetic isomeric tetradecenyl acetates and attractancy tests under field conditions showed that the highest number of males were captured with a blend of Z9-14:Ac: Z11-16:Ac in a ratio of 1:19 (Underhill et al. 1977). This blend has been useful for monitoring the relative abundances of bertha armyworm; however, in 162 monitor traps in southern Alberta from 1979 to 1982, the catches consisted of 18.4% Agroperina cogitata (Sm)

AbstractThe sex-pheromone components of the sibling species Euxoa ridingsiana and Euxoa maimes were identified in abdomen-tip washes and extracts of calling female moths. Both species produced the same primary pheromone component, (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (i.e. Z9-14:Ac), but they produced different amounts of secondary pheromone components. In the field, male moths of E. ridingsiana were specifically attracted to a 3-component blend of Z7-12:Ac, and Z7-14:Ac, and Z9-14:Ac in a ratio of 1:2:40 at 500 μg per dispenser, and males of E. maimes were specifically attracted to a 5-component blend of Z7-14:Ac, Z9-14:Ac, Zl 1-14:Ac, Zll-16:Ac, andZll-16:OH in a ratio of 1.5:500:5:50:2.5 at 500 μg per dispenser. Both synthetic pheromone blends were competitive with conspecific females. These pheromone analyses confirm that E. ridingsiana and E. maimes are valid biological species that can maintain their reproductive isolation solely by specific sex pheromones.
