The citrus long-horned beetle, (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is a highly polyphagous species native to eastern and southeastern Asia. Detection of these beetles is dependent on visual surveys, which are inefficient and labor-intensive. The identification and development of pheromone-based lures would help improve survey efforts for should it become established within the US. We identified three antennally active male-produced chemical components (nonanal, 4-(n-heptyloxy)butan-1-ol, and 4-(n-heptyloxy)butanal), which were then tested for behavioral activity at our USDA Quarantine laboratory. When tested together in Y-tube behavioral assays, a three-component blend of the identified compounds was shown to be attractive to adult female . Pheromone production and behavior of and other closely related cerambycid species are discussed in relation to mate finding and potential monitoring.
柑橘长角甲虫（鞘翅目：天牛科）是一种原产于东亚和东南亚的多食性物种。这些甲虫的检测依赖于目视调查，这种方法效率低下且劳动强度大。如果柑橘长角甲虫在美国定殖，基于性信息素的诱捕剂的鉴定和开发将有助于改进对其的调查工作。我们鉴定出三种由雄性产生的具有触角活性的化学成分（壬醛、4-（正庚氧基）丁醇和4-（正庚氧基）丁醛），然后在美国农业部检疫实验室对其进行行为活性测试。在Y型管行为试验中一起测试时，所鉴定化合物的三成分混合物对成年雌性柑橘长角甲虫具有吸引力。本文讨论了柑橘长角甲虫及其他密切相关天牛科物种的性信息素产生和行为与寻找配偶及潜在监测的关系。
