Abstract
A major component of female contact sex pheromone of the yellow-spotte d longicorn beetle, Psacothea hilaris (Pascoe), was isolated from the elytra and identified as (Z)-21-methyl-8-pentatriacontene. The synthet ic compound released the typical mating behavior including holding, mo unting, and abdominal bending in males, although its activity was cons iderably lower than the extract of female elytra when treated on a gel atin capsule as an artificial female model.
