Sex pheromone components of female smaller tea tortrix moth, Adocophes sp. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Taiwan

(Z)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate (Z11-14:Ac) and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (Z9-14: Ac) were isolated as major sex pheromone components from the female tips of the smaller tea tortrix moth, Adoxophyes sp., in Taiwan. The average amount of Z11- and Z9-14:Ac in each female gland was 24.9 and 14.1 ng, in a...

Description
Summary:(Z)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate (Z11-14:Ac) and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (Z9-14: Ac) were isolated as major sex pheromone components from the female tips of the smaller tea tortrix moth, Adoxophyes sp., in Taiwan. The average amount of Z11- and Z9-14:Ac in each female gland was 24.9 and 14.1 ng, in a ratio of 64:36, respectively. When compared to a closely related Japanese strain, which used the Z9-14:Ac, Z11-14:Ac, E11-14:Ac, 10-Me-12:Ac four-component system (in a ratio of 63:31:4:2), the Taiwan formulation of two components caught significantly more Taiwan males than the Japanese formulation of four components
