The sex pheromone of the fir coneworm moth consists of a blend of (3Z,6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z)-pentacosapentaene and (9Z, 11E)-tetradecadienyl acetate. Analogous blends of polyunsaturated, long-chain hydrocarbons with much shorter chain aldehydes or alcohols recently have been discovered in three other moth species in the superfamily Pyraloidea. These combinations of components from two distinct structural classes may represent an important and widespread new pheromone blend motif within the Lepidoptera.
冷杉球果蛀蛾的性信息素由(3Z,6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z)-二十五碳五烯和(9Z,11E)-十四碳二烯乙酸酯混合而成。最近在螟蛾总科的其他三种蛾类中发现了多不饱和长链烃与链长得多的醛或醇的类似混合物。来自两个不同结构类别的这些成分组合可能代表鳞翅目内一种重要且广泛存在的新型信息素混合模式。
