Khasimuddin, Syed published the artcileQuantitative bioassays for sex pheromone analysis in Spodoptera exempta (Wlk.) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), and laboratory evidence of cross-attraction among three species, Formula: C14H26O2, the publication is Insect Science and Its Application (1984), 5(4), 325-8, database is CAplus.
The courtship behavior of male S. exempta was quantified and used as a method of bioassay for the female sex pheromone. Virgin females become attractive to sexually mature males from 72 h after emergence and henceforth their attractiveness increases gradually until they have mated. Mated females start losing their attractiveness to males gradually after mating and 72-96 h after mating they cannot produce any courtship response in males. Among virgin females, crude pheromone-gland extract, and synthetic pheromone compounds, it is the older live females and the crude extract at 0.1 female equivalent that produce highest responses in males. A certain degree of cross-attraction among 3 coexisting species was noted, by using live insects as well as synthetic pheromone compounds of these species in laboratory bioassays. Possible interspecific pheromone-related implications are discussed.
