Abstract
Densities of males of the leafroller Archips podana were determined by pheromone traps in the Lipetsk district, central Russia, in 1991. Ind ustry emissions at Lipetsk contain especially sulphur dioxide. Densiti es of A. podana peaked at 3-7 km from the nearest source of emission. Male sizes (indicated by length of the aedeagus) tended to be smaller close to heavily polluted areas but did not correlate significantly wi th densities. Variation in size also peaked close to emission sources.
