Abstract

(Z)-11-Hexadecen-1-ol (Z11-16:OH) was isolated from extract of the sex pheromone gland of female Xylomyges curialis Grote (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and identified by gas chromatographic and by gas chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis of the parent compound, the acetate derivative, and the ozonolysis product of the acetate derivative. No other unsaturated alcohols, acetates, or aldehydes could be detected in the extract. In field tests, traps baited with synthetic Z11-16:OH effectively captured males.
