Abstract
A male pheromone was extracted and isolated from the cuticular wax of mature males of N. cinerea. This is considered to be an intermale recognition pheromone which functions in recognition by conspecific males through antennal contact. The chemical structure of the pheromone was identified as octadecyl-(Z)-9-tetracosenoate, for which the name nauphoetin was proposed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
