1. The olfactory and auditory mediated sex attraction inAchroia grisella (Fabr.)
2. We have prepared, from 1, by procedures similar to that outlined in the communication, the insect sex pheromones, of type R-CH=CH-(CH2)9CHXY, related to species:Scotogramma trifolii(Z, R=n-C4H9, X=OAc, Y=H);Mamestra configurata(Z, R=n-C4H9, X=OH, Y=H);Brachmia macroscopa(E, R=n-C4H9, X=OAc, Y=H);Choristoneura rosaceana(Z, R=C2H5, X=OAc, Y=H);Archips rosanus(Z, R=C2H5, X=OH, Y=H);Spodoptera littoralis(E, R=C2H5, X=OAc, Y=H);Archips argyrospylus(E, R=C2H5, X=OH, Y=H).
