Abstract
Males of four species of moths were captured in traps baited with enan tiomers of straight chain epoxydienes in north Florida. The noctuid Re nia salusalis was captured in traps baited with (3Z,6S,7R,9Z)-6,7-epox y-3,9-nonadecadiene, the geometrid Probole alienaria in traps baited w ith a 1:1 mixture of enantiomers of cis-6,7-epoxy-3,9-nonadecadiene, a nd the noctuid Zale lanifera as well as the arctiid Halysidota tessell aris in traps baited with (3Z,6Z,9R,10S)-9,10-epoxy-3,6-henicosadiene. These compounds may be part of the sex pheromone of females of these 4 species.
