Abstract
The two major components of the female pheromone blend of Hedya nubiferana have been identified as (E, E)-8,10-dodecadienyl acetate and (Z)-8-dodecenyl acetate. Each compound acts on a specialist receptor type in olfactory hair sensilla of the male antenna. In field screening tests, combinations of the two compounds and dodecanyl acetate were highly attractive to H. nubiferana males. The (Z, E)-8,10 isomer attracted males of Hedya ochroleucana.Keywords
