Abstract
The structure of the sex pheromone produced by the male sandfly Lutzomyia l ongipalpis, from the Lapinha Cave (Minas Gerais State) region of Brazil, pr eviously proposed tentatively as the novel homosesquiterpene 9-methylgermac rene-B, is confirmed and the absolute stereochemistry defined as S by compa ring physical and biological properties of the synthetic enantiomers with t he natural product.
