Adult maleG. pallidipes attempted to copulate with decoys treated with a branched paraffin obtained from laboratory-reared female flies. The compound causing maximal response was isolated and identified as 13,23-dimethylpentatriacontane. The synthesized compound elicited increasing responses with increasing doses. This sex- and species-specific compound was always present in physiological amounts in females, as it increased from 2 μg at emergence to 10 μg per female at 14 days. It was present in wild-caught females from a wide geographical range.
成年雄性 G. pallidipes 试图与用实验室饲养的雌性苍蝇获得的支链石蜡处理过的诱饵交配。引起最大反应的化合物被分离出来并鉴定为 13,23-二甲基三十五烷。合成化合物的剂量增加，反应也随之增加。这种具有性和种特异性的化合物在雌性体内始终以生理量存在，因为它从孵化时的 2μg 增加到 14 天时的每只雌性 10μg。它存在于来自广泛地理范围的野生捕获的雌性中。
