Abstract

The first female lepidopteran sex pheromone identified was the main component of the silkworm moth (Bombyx mori), (E)-10,(Z)-12-hexadecadienol.(1) Since then, progress has been excellent on the identification, syntheses, and applications of female sex pheromones of other lepidopterans and this progress has been adequately reviewed.(2,3) It is interesting to note that a second minor pheromone component of the silkworm moth, (E)-10,(Z)-12-hexadecadienal, was reported 19 years after the identification of the major component.(4) It is now generally accepted that the sex pheromones of lepidopterans usually consist of a blend of two or more biologically active components.(5–7)
