An ether extract of the abdominal glands of the female black chafers, Holotrichia loochooana loochooana (Coleoptera Scarabaeidae), elicited responses from males. Anthranilic acid was identified as the major compound by GC-MS and the amount extracted from each female chafer was estimated to be approximately 1.3 ixg/female. ... 

Extracts of the summer chafer, Amphimallon solstitiale L. (Coleoptera Scarabaeidae), a common European scarab beetle were analyzed by GC-MS and GC-EAD. Both male and female extracts were shown to contain Acetoin — R) (5) > 9 1, as well as 2,3-butanediol — 2R, 3R) (25,35) meso =1 1 9. Although (25, 35)-butanediol did not show any activity, the other compounds elicited strong responses exclusively with male antennae.

Figure 6.4 Lactone pheromone components produced by beetles in the genus Anomala (family Scarabaeidae) (R)- and (S)-(R,Z)-5-(-)-(dec-1-enyl)-oxacyclopentan-2-one (japonilure) and (fl,Z)-5-(-)-(oct-1-enyl)-oxacyclopentan-2-one (buibuilactone). Species known to use the compounds as pheromone components are indicated (reviewed in Leal, 1999).

Scarabaeidae. Phenol is reported to be the sex attractant for males of the grass grub beetle, Costelytra zealandica, a major economic pest of pastures in New Zealand (507 It was subsequently reported that phenol was synthesized in the colleterial glands, not by the female beetle, but rather by the bacterial flora which was housed therein (51). However, it has not been established whether or not phenol is also synthesized...
