Abstract
Male Trogoderma inclusum LeConte and T. glabrum (Herbst) maintained with a photoperiod of 14-hours light and 10-hours dark were more responsive to pheromone between the third to eighth and the fifth to eleventh hours, respectively, of the photophase than at other times of day. The optimum mating receptivity of both species corresponded closely to the times of day of maximum male response to the pheromone. The amounts of extractable female sex pheromone remained fairly constant during the first nine hours of the photophase, and they did not appear to contribute to the observed increases in mating.
