Abstract

The three major components of setal exudate from nymphs of the Hawthorn lace bug,Corythucha cydoniae, were identified as 3,6-dihydroxy-2-[1-oxo-6(E),8(E)-tetradecadienyl]cyclohex-2-en-1-one; 3,6-dihydroxy-2-[1-oxo-dodecanyl]-cyclohex-2-en-1-one; 3,6-dihydroxy-2-[1-oxo-8-dodecenyl] cyclohex-2-en-1-one. An additional 10 minor components were partially characterized.
