Abstract

Traps baited with approx. 2:1 mixtures of (E)-, and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetates caught male Sperchia intrac­tana Walker in the field. Analyses of extracts obtained from virgin female moths revealed the presence of these two compounds, which are presumably the major components of the sex pheromone.
