Abstract

In field trapping tests male Orthosia gothica (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were captured in traps baited with blends of (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate, (Z)-9-tetradecenol, (Z)-5-tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate. The highest catches were recorded in traps baited with a 20 : 20 : 1 : 1 blend. The above quaternary blend is a potent sex attractant of this species, and it can be recommended in dosages of 10- 100-mu-g per dispenser for monitoring purposes.
