An unsaturated ketone (Z)-14-tricosen-10-one, a prominent (6%) constituent of the cuticular lipid of the female housefly, M. domestica, is the major component of the sex pheromone mixture (Uebel et al., 1978). For several species of Drosophila, the cuticular lipids contain saturated and unsaturated ketones (C13-C17) which were characterized as components of aggregation pheromones. Identified structures included 2-tridecanone and 2-pentadecanone in D. hydei (Moats et al., 1987), (Z)-10-heptadecen-2-one in D. mul-leri (Bartelt et al, 1989), and 2-pentadecanone in D. busckii (Schaner et al., 1989). The ejaculatory bulb and surface lipids of three Drosophila species (D. martensis, D. buzzatii and D. serido) had the compound (Z)-10-heptadecen-2-one that functions as the major...
