Wharton et al. (42) showed that filter paper over which virgin female American cockroaches [Periplaneta americana (L.)] had crawled was highly attractive to males, and these investigators have very recently reported that they obtained from such papers 28 /xg. of an attractant which they were unable to identify. As the result of an independent investigation which was not sufficiently completed to be reported at the symposium held in September 1962 in Atlantic City, Jacobson, Beroza, and Yamamoto (24) isolated the sex attractant and identified it as 2,2-dimethyl-3-isopropylidenecyclopropyl propionate. The pure attractant, which elicits a response from males at levels below )Ltg., was obtained by condensing the air stream passed...
