Abstract
In addition to the previously identified wing gland lactone, eldanolide, and the tail brush components, vanillin and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, several further terpenoid compounds, saturated and unsaturated alcohols and acids, a thioalcohol, as well as two saturated macrocyclic lactones, were identified in the wing gland and tail brush secretions of the male African sugarcane borer Eldana saccharina (Walker).
