2-butyl 2-dodecenoate, a new sex attractant for "Jordanita (Tremewania) notata" (Zeller, 1847) and some other Procridinae species (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae)

A property of 2-butyl 2-dodecenoate as a sex attractant for the males of Jordanita ( Tremewania ) notata (Zeller, 1847) was proven in field trapping tests and behavioural observations in the Crimean Peninsula. It was shown that this substance is also attractive for males of some other Procridinae species, viz. Rhagades ( Rhagades ) pruni ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), Adscita ( Adscita ) geryon (Hübner, 1813), Jordanita ( Jordanita ) graeca (Jordan, 1907), J . ( J .) globulariae (Hübner, 1793), and J . ( Solaniterna ) subsolana (Staudinger, 1862). The attractiveness of 2-butyl 2-dodecenoate for Rh. pruni , A. geryon , J . notata , and J . subsolana was found for the first time.
