Anoplophora glabripennis

Two male specific volatiles of Anoplophora glabripennis were found to elicit strong electrophysiological responses in the antenna of both males and females. The very unusual 4-(n-heptyloxy)butanal 187 and the corresponding alcohol form a 1 1 mixture [348]. A synthetic blend proved to be attractive in laboratory bioassays.
