“…c a s t a n e u m and T. confusum were attracted to the synthetic aggregation pheromone. Aggregation to attractant pheromones has been reported for adults of other stored products Coleoptera (Abdel-Kader & Barak, 1979;Barak & Burkholder, 1977;Faustini et aL, 1982a;Khorramshahi & Burkholder, 1981) and larvae of Trogoderma glabrum (Herbst) respond to food attractants (Nara et aL, 1981;Nara & Burkholder, 1983). Our results suggest that larvae of T. castaneum will be attracted to adult male Tribolium producing aggregation pheromone.…”

Responses of larval Tribolium castaneum Herbst. to the synthetic adult aggregation pheromone (4,8‐dime‐thyldecanal) were studied. Larvae of T. castaneum were attracted both by contact and vapour of 4,8‐dime‐thyldecanal at concentrations of 1, 5 and 10 μg · g−1 of medium. Zusammenfassung Reaktion von Tribolium castaneum Larven auf synthetisches Aggregationspheromon. Die Reaktionen der Larven von T. castaneum auf das kunstliche Aggregations pheromon (4,8‐dimethyldecanal) in Versuchen in Petrischalen untersucht. Die Larven wurden angezogen, wenn sie mit Pheromon auf Filterpapier oder mit verdampftem Pheromon in Kontakt kamen. Diese Reaktion wurde bei Konzentrationen von 1,5 und 10 μg · g−1 Medium festgestellt. Die höchste Konzentration rief die grosste Reaktion hervor. Fruhe Larvenstadien zeigten stärkere Reaktionen als spatere Stadien.

“…4). The response by both sexes to pheromone was simihr to that reported in several other Coleoptera (ABDEL-KADER and BARAK 1979;KHORRAMSHAHI and BURKHOLDER 1981 ;FAUSTINI et al 1981FAUSTINI et al , 1982. This was characterized by leg extension, whipping antennae up and down, and zig-zag locomotion toward the pheromone source.…”

Test arenas and corrugated cardboard traps were used to test attractive properties of synthetic pheromone, (4S,5R)‐sitophinone, and various foods to rice weevils, Sitophilus oryzae (L.), in laboratory and in storage room. Cracked corn, rice kernels and corn germ oil trapped significantly more insects than 1 mg of (4S,5R)‐sitophinone. A strong synergistic effect between the pheromone added with cracked corn or rice kernels or corn germ oil was demonstrated. Rice weevils were successfully lured out of a food source when cracked corn and (4S‐5R)‐sitophinone were present in the traps. A new design of corrugated cardboard trap was reported. Zusammenfassung Untersuchungen zum Einfluß von Pheromonen und Fraßlockstoffen beim Fang von Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Col., Curculionidae) Mit Untersuchungsgefäßen und Fallen aus Wellpappe wurde im Labor und in einem Lagerhaus getestet, welche Pheromonmenge [(4S,5R)‐sitophinone] und welche verschiedenen Nahrungsmittel attraktiv für Sitophilus oryzae waren. Mit zerdrückten Getreidekörnern, Reiskörnern oder Getreide‐samenöl konnten signifikant mehr Käfer gefangen werden als mit 1 mg (4S,5R)‐sitophinone. Ein deutlicher synergistischer Effekt konnte nachgewiesen werden, wenn das Pheromon und zerdrückte Getreidekörner, Reiskörner oder Getreidesamenöl gemeinsam angeboten wurden. Wurden das Pheromon und zerdrückte Getreidekörner gleichzeitig angeboten, konnte S. oryzae damit erfolgreich aus anderen Nahrungsmitteln angelockt werden. Des weiteren wird über einen neuen Fallentyp berichtet.

Field trapping of the American palm weevil (APW),Rhynchophorus palmarum, showed that the combination of caged male APWs and palm stem was much more attractive to APWs of both sexes than palm stem alone. Caged female APWs did not enhance the attractiveness of the palm. Caged APWs without palm stem were not attractive. Virgin laboratory-bred males were highly attractive to APWs of both sexes in a two-choice pitfall olfactometer, whereas virgin laboratory-bred females were not. Adsorbenttrapped volatiles from virgin laboratory-bred males reproduced the effect of living males, giving evidence for a male-produced aggregation pheromone in this species. Wild-mated APWs of both sexes were as responsive to the aggregation pheromone as virgin laboratory-bred APWs. This is the first record of chemical communication in this species. These results have prompted investigations into the chemical identification of the aggregation pheromone.
