Female smaller tea tortrix mothsAdoxophyes sp. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), which initiated calling at 1, 2, or 3 days old, respectively, were analyzed individually for (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (Z11-14:OAc) and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (Z9-14: OAc) in the pheromone gland via GLC. Among different age groups, broad and similar distributions were found for pheromone quantity (¯X=58.6±52.9 ng/female; range 1.3-219.8 ng/female). The ratio of the two pheromone components averaged 65∶35 but ranged from 84∶16 to 40∶60. The significance of the pheromone blend variation to the attraction of males was tested in a field experiment. The ratio of males trapped by the most attractive blend versus the least attractive one was 2.2.
雌小茶卷叶蛾 Adoxophyes sp.(鳞翅目:卷叶蛾科)分别在 1、2 或 3 日龄时开始鸣叫,通过 GLC 对其信息素腺体中的(Z)-11-十四碳烯基乙酸酯(Z11-14:OAc)和(Z)-9-十四碳烯基乙酸酯(Z9-14:OAc)进行了分析。在不同年龄组中,发现信息素数量的分布范围很广且相似(¯X=58.6±52.9ng/雌蛾;范围 1.3-219.8ng/雌蛾)。两种信息素成分的比例平均为 65∶35,但范围为 84∶16 至 40∶60。在田间实验中测试了信息素混合物变化对雄性吸引力的意义。最有吸引力的混合物与最没有吸引力的混合物捕捉到的雄性比例为 2.2。
