Abstract
Oviposition stimulants of an Aristolochiaceae-feeding swallowtail butterfly,Atrophaneura alcinous, were isolated from the leaves ofAristolochla debilis and characterized as a mixture of aristolochic acids and sequoyitol. An artificial blend of these components applied to filter paper induced a significant oviposition response by the female butterflies, identical to that elicited by intact leaves of theAristolochia host plant.Keywords
