Sex Pheromone of the Carpenterworm, Holcocerus insularis (Lepidoptera, Cossidae)

By means of thin-layer chromatography (TLC), electroantennogram (EAG), gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and field tests, (Z)-3-tetradecenyl acetate(Z3-14:Ac), (E)-3-tetradecen-1-ol(E3-14:OH), and (Z)-3-tetradecen-1-ol(Z3- 14:OH) at a ratio of 51:39:10 were identified from the female sex pheromone gland extracts of the carpenterworm, Holcocerus insularis Staudinger (Lepidoptera, Cossidae). The average amounts of Z3-14:Ac, E3-14:OH and Z3-14:OH in a single sex pheromone gland of calling moth were 7.29±2.72 ng, 5.72±2.43 ng and 1.44±0.56 ng, respectively. This is the first time that Z3-14:Ac was identified as a component of lepidopteran sex pheromone. Traps baited with rubber septa impregnated with Z3-14:Ac (500 μg / septum) were more effective than the traps baited with virgin female. The addition of the E3-14:OH and Z3-14:OH to rubber septa baited with Z3-14:Ac did not modify H. insularius male attraction, but E3-14:Ac slightly enhanced trap catch.
