Gas chromatographic and mass spectral analyses were conducted on pheromone gland extracts, volatiles collected from excised pheromone glands, and volatiles collected from calling females. In addition to tetradecanal, (Z)-9-tetradecenal, hexadecanal, (Z)-7-hexadecenal, (Z)-9-hexadecenal, and (Z)-11-hexadecenal, four other compounds, tetradecanol, (Z)-9-tetradecenol, hexadecanol, and (Z)-11-hexadecenol, were also identified from gland extracts. Only the six aldehyde components were found in gland and female volatile collections. The mean percentage of components identified from volatiles collected from calling females was 13.0% tetradecanal, 18.1% (Z)-9-tetradecenal, 7.3% hexadecanal, 0.6% (Z)-7-hexadecenal, 1.0% (Z)-9-hexadecenal, and 60.0% (Z)-11-hexadecenal. Bioassays using rubber septa formulated to release the female volatile blend indicated that all six aldehyde components play major roles in close-range male reproductive behavior. Deletion of (Z)-9-hexadecenal from the six-component blend reduced the number of copulation attempts while (Z)-7-hexadecenal exerted subtle effects on all close range behaviors. Tetradecanal affected the number of times males reorient from close range. Deletion of hexadecanal from the six-component blend resulted in a significant reduction in the number of times males landed. Comparison of the six-component synthetic blend (released at somewhat less than 1 female equivalent per hour) with calling females indicated that the six-component blend was indistinguishable from the females in inducing all of the behaviors monitored.
对信息素腺体提取物、从切除的信息素腺体收集的挥发物以及从求偶雌性收集的挥发物进行了气相色谱和质谱分析。除了十四醛、(Z)-9-十四烯醛、十六醛、(Z)-7-十六烯醛、(Z)-9-十六烯醛和(Z)-11-十六烯醛外，还从腺体提取物中鉴定出了另外四种化合物：十四醇、(Z)-9-十四烯醇、十六醇和(Z)-11-十六烯醇。腺体和雌性挥发物收集物中只发现了这六种醛类成分。从求偶雌性收集的挥发物中鉴定出的成分平均百分比为 13.0%十四醛、18.1%(Z)-9-十四烯醛、7.3%十六醛、0.6%(Z)-7-十六烯醛、1.0%(Z)-9-十六烯醛和 60.0%(Z)-11-十六烯醛。使用橡胶隔片进行的生物测定，这些隔片配方旨在释放雌性挥发物混合物，表明所有六种醛类成分在近距离雄性生殖行为中都发挥着重要作用。从六成分混合物中删除(Z)-9-十六烯醛会减少交配尝试次数，而(Z)-7-十六烯醛对所有近距离行为都有微妙的影响。十四醛影响雄性从近距离重新定向的次数。从六成分混合物中删除十六醛会导致雄性降落次数显著减少。将六成分合成混合物（每小时释放略低于 1 个雌性当量）与求偶雌性进行比较表明，六成分混合物在诱导所有监测行为方面与雌性无法区分。
