Moths in the families Geometridae, Arctiidae, and some Noctuidae utilize hydrocarbons or epoxides of hydrocarbons as their sex pheromones. Hydrocarbon biosynthesis occurs in oenocyte cells that are associated with either epidermal cells or fat body cells (Wigglesworth, 1970). Once the hydrocarbons are biosynthesized, they are transported to the sex pheromone gland by lipophorin (Schal et al., 1998). The hydrocarbons can be released directly in the case of some moths or they are transformed into epoxides by addition of oxygen across one of the double bonds.

The ability of insects to withstand desiccation was recognized in the 1930s to be due to the epicuticular layer of the cuticle. Wigglesworth (1933) described a complex fatty or waxy substance in the upper layers of the cuticle which he called cuticulin . The presence of hydrocarbons in this wax of insects was suggested by Chibnall et al. (1934) and Blount et al. (1937), and over the next few decades the importance of hydrocarbons in the cuticular wax of insects was established (Baker et al., 1963 and references therein). The first relatively complete chemical analyses of the hydrocarbons from any insect, the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana (Baker et al., 1963), occurred after the development of gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The three major components of the hydrocarbons of this insect, //-pen taco sane, 3-methylpentacosane and (Z,Z)-6,9-heptacosadiene, represent the three major classes of hydrocarbons on insects, n-alkanes, methyl-branched alkanes and alkenes. Baker and co-workers (1963) were able to identify n-pentacosane by its elution time on GLC to a standard and its inclusion in a 5-angstrom molecular sieve. 3-Methylpentacosane...

Phvtoluvenolds. Wigglesworth (JL) demonstrated that a hormone secreted by the insect corpora allata was responsible for the control of differentiation in immature insects and reproduction in adult female insects. Williams (3) prepared an active extract of this hormone from adult male cecropia moths and called it "juvenile hormone". We were able to derive sufficient knowledge of the chemistry of the juvenile hormone from the study of the active cecropia extract to synthesize JH III Q). Seven years later its presence as a natural hormone in the tobacco hornworm was confirmed Ci). Three other analogous juvenile hormones (JH 0, I, II) have been found to occur only in lepidoptera (5, ., 2.) (Figure 1). Juvenile hormone III is the principal juvenile hormone of insects and has been demonstrated in all of the insect taxa investigated.
