Abstract
Ambrosia Beetles, Attractant, Xyloterus 3-Hydroxy-3-methylbutan-2-one was found in equal amounts in the extracts of males and females of three species of ambrosia beetles: Xyloterus domesticus L., Xyloterus signatus F. and Xyloterus lineatus Oliv. The substance may play an important role as an attractant because the concentration is highest in the highly attractive extracts of boring beetles. Two additional compounds, 2,3-dihydroxy-2-methyl-butane and 2-hexanole were identified from X. domesticus extracts.
