Variegated leafroller moth

Hill, A.S.,Card6, R.T, Bode, W.M. and Roelofs, W.L. (1977). Sex pheromone components of the variegated leafroller moth, Platynota flavedana. Journal of Chemical Ecology 3 369-376. 

Males of the variegated leafroller moth, Platynota flavedana, are attracted in greatest numbers in the field to a ratio of 84 16 of ( )-ll-tetradecen-l-ol to (Z)-ll-tetradecen-l-ol (297). Female tip extracts contain these two alcohols in a 9 1 ratio ( Z) as well as the corresponding acetates but the acetates do not appear to be used as pheromones. Trap catches of the alfalfa looper, Autographa californica, are greatly increased by the addition of (Z)-7-dodecen-l-ol formate to (Z)-7-dodecen-l-ol acetate 298), its proposed sex pheromone (299). It is not known whether the formate ester is an actual component of the natural pheromone.
