Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les produits recueillis par lavages de l'ovipositeur de Cryptophlebia batrachopa Meyr. (Lep. Tortricidae) ont été analysés par chromatographie gazeuse (GC) associée à l'électroantennographie (EAG) et la GC à haute résolution. Le principal constituant actif en EAG provenant des lavages s'est révélé être le (Z)-8-dodécényl acétate avec moins de 0,5% de l'isomère E. L'analyse GC de ces produits de lavage de C. leucotreta ont confirmé la présence d'à peu près les mêmes quantités de (Z) et (E)-8-dodécényl acétates (Persoons et al., 1977). Quand des essais sur le terrain ont été effectués au Malawi, où existent les deux espèces de Cryptophlebia, avec du (Z)-8-dodécényl acétate et des mélanges comprenant jusqu'à 50% de l'isomère E, des mâles de C. batrachopa ont seuls été capturés dans des pièges contenant 10% ou moins de l'isomère E; les captures les plus élevées ont été obtenues avec l'isomère Z pur. A l'opposé, surtout des mâles de C. leucotreta ont été capturés dans des pièges garnis avec plus de 10% d'isomère E, et aucune capture n'a été obtenue avec l'isomère Z pur. Des mâles d'Opogona spp. ont été attirés par du (Z)-8-dodécényl acétate contenant 1% de l'isomère E.

Notes: Abstract Ovipositor washings from virgin female Cryptophlebia batrachopa (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) were analysed by gas chromatography (GC) linked to electroantennography (EAG) and by high-resolution GC. The major EAG-active component in ovipositor washings was shown to be (Z)-8-dodecenyl acetate with less than 0.5% of the E isomer. GC analysis of ovipositor washings from C. leucotreta confirmed the presence of approximately equal amounts of (Z)- and (E)-8-dodecenyl acetates (Persoons et al., 1977). When pure (Z)-8-dodecenyl acetate and mixtures containing up to 50% of the E isomer were tested in the field in Malawi where both Cryptophlebia species occurred, C. batrachopa male moths were caught only in traps baited with 10% or less of the E isomer and highest catches were recorded for the pure Z isomer. By contrast C. leucotretra males were caught predominantly by traps baited with more than 10% E isomer and no catches were recorded for the pure Z isomer. (Z)-8-dodecenyl acetate containing 1% of the E isomer was found to attract male moths of Opogona spp.

Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des produits provenant du lavage d l'ovipositeur et des substances volatiles de femelles vierges de S. incertulas Walker (Lep.: Pyralidae) ont été examinées en chromatographie en phase gazeuse (GC) avecélectroantennogramme simultané(EAG). Deux réponses EAG ont été enregistrées à des temps de rétention correspondant à ceux des aldéhydes monoinsaturés 16 carbones et des alcools monoinsaturés 16 carbones. L'analyse des produits provenant du lavage de l'ovipositeur en colonnes GC capillaires à haute résolution a donné des pics correspondant aux (Z)-11-hexadécenal, (Z)-9-hexadécenal, (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol et à l'hexadecanal. Les réponses EAG de mâles de S. incertulas aux isomères synthétiques d'hexadécenal étaient plus intenses pour les isomères (Z)-11 et (E)-11. Des essais en champ aux Philippines ont montré que les pièges contenant un mélange de (Z)-11-hexadécenal et de (Z)-9-hexadécenal dans le rapport natural 3/ 1 capturaient plus de mâles de S. incertulas que ceux contenant une femelle vierge. L'addition au mélange de (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol réduit les captures.

Notes: Abstract Ovipositor washings and volatiles from virgin female Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) were analysed by gas chromatography (GC) linked to electroantennography (EAG). Two EAG responses were observed at retention times consistent with those of monounsaturated 16-carbon aldehydes and monounsaturated 16-carbon alcohols. Analysis of ovipositor washings on high-resolution, capillary GC columns showed peaks which cochromatographed with (Z)-11-hexadecenal, (Z)-9-hexadecenal, (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol and hexadecanal. EAG responses of male S. incertulas to synthetic hexadecenal isomers were greatest for the (Z)-11 and (Z)-11 isomers. Field tests in the Philippines showed that traps baited with a mixture of (Z)-11-hexadecenal and (Z)-9-hexadecenal in the naturally occurring 3:1 ratio caught significantly more male S. incertulas moths than those baited with a virgin female moth. Addition of (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol to this mixture reduced trap catches.

Description / Table of Contents: Résumé S. solanivora est l'un des plus importants lépidoptères détruisant les pommes de terre en Amérique Centrale. L'analyse par chromatographie en phase gazeuse (GC) des produits obtenus par lavage de l'ovipositeur de femelles vierges, associée à des électro-anténnogrammes (EAG) a révélé un composé actif unique en EAG. Les durées de rétention pour ce constituant correspondaient à celles des acétates monoinsaturés à 12 carbones, et les analyses sur colonne GC liées avec une phase liquide cristal ont montré un pic principal correspondant à l'acétate (E)-3-dodécénul et un pic secondaire, correspondant à l'isomère Z, et au niveau de 2,5% du pic principal. L'acétate dodécyl a aussi été décelé en quantités variables, approximativement 10% du pic principal. Dans la nature, des pièges contenant de l'acétate (E)-3-dodécényl, seul ou mélangé avec 1 ou 2% de l'isomère Z, ont capturé autant des mâles de S. solanivora que des pièges contenant des femelles vierges, et certaines indications montrent que l'addition de 5% de l'isomère Z réduit les captures.

Notes: Abstract The sex pheromone produced by virgin female S. solanivora moths has been shown to contain (E)-3-dodecenyl acetate with approximately 2% of the Z isomer by electroantennography and gas chromatography. In the field, traps baited with (E)-3-dodecenyl acetate alone or in combination with 1% or 2% of the Z isomer caught at least as many male S. solanivora moths as those baited with virgin female moths, and there was some evidence that addition of 5% of the Z isomer reduced catches.

Notes: Abstract Five active compounds were detected during analyses of ovipositor washings and effluvia from virgin female Coniesta ignefusalis moths by gas chromatography (GC) linked to electroantennographic (EAG) recording from a male moth. These were identified as (Z)-7-dodecen-1-ol (Z7–12:OH), (Z)-5-decen-1-ol (Z5–10:OH), (Z)-7-dodecenal (Z7–12:Ald), (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate (Z7–12:Ac), and (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-ol (Z9–14:OH) by comparison of their GC retention times, mass spectra, and EAG activities with those of synthetic standards. Laboratory tests of dispensers for these compounds showed that release rates from polyethylene vials increased to relatively uniform values after three to four days, but release from septa was very rapid and nonuniform and decreased to low levels after two to three days. Trapping tests in Niger showed that the major component, Z7–12:OH, and two of the minor components, Z5–10:OH and Z7–12:Ald, were essential for attraction of male C. ignefusalis moths. The most attractive blend contained these three components in a 100:5:3.3 ratio in a polyethylene vial, which emitted the components in similar proportions to those produced by the female C. ignefusalis moth. Water traps baited with this blend containing 1 mg of Z7–12:OH caught more male C. ignefusalis moths than traps baited with newly emerged female moths. Addition of up to 10% of the corresponding E isomers of the pheromone components had no effect on catches, but addition of the other two minor components detected, Z7–12:Ac and/or Z9–14:OH, to the attractive blend at naturally occurring levels caused significant reductions in trap catch.

Notes: Abstract Sex pheromone produced by Callosobruchus subinnotatus females stimulates conspecific males to walk upwind toward the source. Gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric analyses of sex pheromone components and their hydrogenated derivatives suggested that the sex pheromone consisted of two short-chain fatty acids, (E)-3-methyl-2-heptenoic acid (E32C7) and (Z)-3-methyl-2-heptenoic acid (Z32C7). The composition of the sex pheromone was confirmed by electrophysiological and behavioral bioassays with synthetic compounds. A mixture of 5 ng E32C7 and 5 ng Z32C7 elicited a 2.1-mV male EAG response, whereas the solvent control elicited 0.1 mV. Mixtures of the two compounds at various ratios were attractive to males in Y-tube bioassays. A pitfall-type trap equipped with a lure impregnated with 1 ng E32C7 and 1 ng Z32C7 was effective in trapping males. Traps baited with the lure caught 80% of males in a glass aquarium during nighttime and 50% during daytime, whereas control traps (solvent treated) in a separate aquarium caught 20% and 10%, respectively.

Notes: The synthesis of four stereoisomers of the female-produced sex pheromone [(2R,6R,10R)-, (2S,6R,10R)-, (2S,6S,10S)-, and (2R,6S,10S)-1a] of the rice moth (Corcyra cephalonica) was achieved by starting from (R)-2a, (R)- or (S)-3a, and (R)- or (S)-4 and using alkylation of alkyl phenyl sulfones as the coupling reaction. Behavioral bioassay of each isomer revealed (2R,6R,10R)-1a to be eight times more active than a diastereomeric mixture of equal amounts of the eight possible stereoisomers, indicating that (2R,6R,10R)-1a is probably the natural pheromone or at least the major component of the female blend. Electrophysiological bioassay also confirmed the high activity of (2R,6R,10R)-1a.
