Abstract
Arrestants which keep A. kariyai in the host habitat were isolated from the exuviae of the host larvae and their structures were elucidated by a combination of MS, PMR and CMR spectra. The chemical structures of the arrestants were found to be a series of 2,5-dialkyltetrahydrofurans. Impregnation of 0.1 .mu.g of each arrestant onto a paper disc elicited 70-90% response from A. kariyai.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
