Abstract
Adult males of the glassy cutworm, Crymodes devastator (Brace), were attracted to traps baited with equal-part mixtures of Z-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate, Z-11-hexadecenal and Z-7-dodecen-1-yl acetate. Other species were not attracted to this ternary sex attractant. Electroantennogram measurements revealed strong male antennal stimulations by each of the 3 components. Attractancy in the field was completely inhibited by the incorporation of small quantities of either Z-11-hexadecen-1-ol or Z-9-tetradecen-1-yl acetate in the chemical lures.
