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.

Tetradecenyl Acetate

Abstract Evidence obtained by glass capillary gas chromatography coupled to an electroantennographic detector or a mass spectrometer confirmed that Z-11-hexadecenyl acetate is the major component in the pheromone gland washes of calling Mamestra brassicae female moths. Three other components were identified, tetradecanyl acetate, hexadecanyl acetate and E-11-hexadecenyl acetate; but none of these had obvious synergistic effects in attracting males in field tests. The attraction of males to Z -11-hexadecenyl acetate was inhibited by 0.1% Z -11-hexadecenol or 1% Z-9- tetradecenyl acetate.

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.

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.

Paranthrene Tabaniformis

A chemical analysis of the crude sex pheromone gland extracts of virgin calling Paranthrene tabaniformis females, obtained from the European part of Kazakhstan, revealed the presence of five compounds: (3E,13Z)-octadeca-3,13-dien-1-ol (E3,Z13-18:OH), (3Z,13Z)- octadeca-3,13-dien-1-ol (Z3,Z13-18:OH), (2E,13Z)-octadeca-2,13-dien-1-ol (E2,Z13-18:OH), (13Z)-octadec-13-en-1-ol (Z13-18:OH), and octadecan-1-ol (18:OH) at the ratios 64.0 : 32.4 : 1.4 : 0.9 :1.3, which are structurally related to sex pheromone components of clearwing moths. Our previous field tests showed synergistic effects of Z3,Z13-18:OH and E2,Z13-18:OH to attract P. tabaniformis males, when these compounds were tested in binary mixtures with the known sex pheromone E3,Z13-18:OH. The three dienic alcohols should all be considered as sex pheromone components of the P. tabaniformis species, while the role of Z13-18:OH and 18:OH remained unclear.
