“…Both benzyl acetate and methyl phenylacetate have been identified as floral volatiles (Williams & Whitten 1983;Omata et al 1991;Knudsen et al 1993); however, neither was detected in hexane extracts of plants on which A. subfasciatus is commonly found . Traps baited with methyl phenylacetate plus synthetic sex pheromone captured significantly more female A. subfasciatus than traps baited with pheromone alone (Nakamuta et al 1997). Shibata et al (1996) captured more species and individuals in traps baited with benzyl acetate than in traps baited with α-pinene and ethyl alcohol; however, there were species (e.g.…”

This review summarizes the literature related to the chemical ecology of the Cerambycidae and provides a brief overview of cerambycid biology, ecology, economic significance, and management. Beetles in the family Cerambycidae have assumed increasing prominence as pests of forest and shade trees, shrubs, and raw wood products, and as vectors of tree diseases. Exotic species associated with solid wood packing materials have been notable tree killers in North American urban and peri-urban forests. In forested ecosystems native species respond to disturbances such as fires and windstorms, and initiate the biodeterioration of woody tissue. Eggs are laid by females, on or through the bark surface of stem and branch tissue of moribund, recently killed or decomposing woody plants; larval cerambycids (roundheaded woodborers) typically feed in the phloem and later in the xylem. Females will also, in some cases, select living hosts, e.g. adult conifer and angiosperm trees, for oviposition. Research on the chemical ecology of over 70 species has revealed many examples of attractive kairomones (such as floral volatiles, smoke volatiles, trunk and leaf volatiles, and bark beetle pheromones), repellents and deterrents, oviposition stimulants, short-and long-range sex pheromones, and defensive substances. Emerging generalities are that attractants tend to be monoterpenoids and phenolic esters; oviposition stimulants are monoterpenoids and flavanoids; short-range sex pheromones are femaleproduced, methyl-branched cuticular hydrocarbons; and long-range sex pheromones are male-produced α-hydroxy ketones and (α,β)-diols ranging in length from 6 to 10 carbons. The latter compounds appear to originate from glands in the male thorax; putative defensive substances originate from metasternal secretory pores or mandibular glands. In one unusual case, a flightless, subterranean female that attacks sugar cane produces a sex pheromone that is derived from the amino acid isoleucine. With significantly more than 35,000 species of Cerambycidae worldwide, these generalities will be subject to change as more species are examined.

“…In addition to chemical cues, A. malasiaca use visual cues so that traps with visual targets may be effective. Since the increase of trap catches are reported after combinations of male sex pheromone and floral attractant or host volatiles in the longicorn beetle, Anaglyptus subfasciatus and Tetropium fuscum (Nakamuta et al, 1997;Silk et al, 2007), combinations of two or more factors may be effective. An alternative insecticide system is also considered: contact with insecticide that would kill the beetle.…”

“…Male-produced sex attractant pheromones were reported mainly in the subfamily Cerambycinae (ex. Iwabuchi et al, 1987;Kuwahara et al, 1987;Lacey et al, 2004), but chemical identification was performed only in several cases (Sakai et al, 1984;Iwabuchi et al, 1986;Schröder et al, 1994;Fettköther et al, 1995;Leal et al, 1995;Nakamuta et al, 1997;Rhainds et al, 2001). Male Neoclytus acuminatus acuminatus produce (2S,3S)-hexanediol, male N. mucronatus mucronatus produce (R)-3-hydroxyhexan-2-one, and male Megacyllene caryae produce alkanedials, terpenoids and an aromatic alcohol, that attracts both conspecific males and females in the field (Lacey et al, 2004(Lacey et al, , 2007(Lacey et al, , 2008a.…”

The mating sequence has been studied in the white-spotted longicorn beetle, Anoplophora malasiaca (Thomson) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). Both females and males are attracted to wounded host plant Citrus unshiu, and adults of both sexes, and both female and male elytra contained the sesquiterpenes that were identical with those in C. unshiu. Moreover, at close range orientation by males, some visual cues derived from females acted synergistically with olfactory factors. And, female contact sex pheromone was isolated from female elytra and revealed to consist of eight hydrocarbons, four ketones, and three lactones. The mating sequence of A. malasiaca was roughly considered to occur as follows. Emerged adults from trunks of the host plants must search for their mates over large areas. Highly mobile males may be attracted from long distances by the signal of sesquiterpenes released from wounded host plants which indicate the presence of other individuals and serve for intraspecific communication in A. malasiaca. At close range orientation, the sesquiterpenes also act as attractant for both females and males, and then visual cue guided them to their mates or rivals. After a male orients to another individual, he identifies it as a mate or a rival. Once a male recognizes a female, mating occurs.

“…Similarly, combination of longhorn beetle pheromones and host volatiles synergizes attraction of cerambycids (Nakamuta et al, 1997;Fettköther et al, 2000;Reddy et al, 2005;Silk et al, 2007;Nehme et al, 2009;Sweeney et al, 2010Sweeney et al, , 2014Pajares et al, 2010;Teale et al, 2011;Allison et al, 2012;Hanks et al, 2012;Macias-Samano et al, 2012;Miller et al, 2015b;Ryall et al, 2015; but see Pajares et al, 2010). In addition to increasing mean catch per trap and sensitivity of detecting several species of bark and wood-boring species, combining different pheromones and host volatiles on the same traps reduces survey costs by decreasing the number of traps required Noseworthy et al, 2012;Wong et al, 2012;Rassati et al, 2014).…”
