Abstract
Electrophysiological recordings from antennal hair sensilla of male P. flammea revealed two types (A, B) of presumed pheromone receptor cells. The A receptors responded max imally to (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate and the B cells to (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate. In the field, a 100:5 mixture of the two compounds attracted 10 times more males than the (Z) -9 isomer alone.Keywords
