By means of gas chromatographic, mass spectrometric methods and combin
ed GC-electroantennogramm techniques as well as activity comparison wi
th pheromones of related species (3Z,6Z)-cis-9,10-epoxyeicosadiene 1 a
nd (3Z,6Z)-cis-9,10-epoxyheneicosadiene 2 were identified as the biolo
gical active components of the sex pheromone complex of the female arc
