Abstract

The attraction of male Neodiprion dailingensis Xiao et Zhou to pheromone substances identified from other Neodiprion species was tested in plantations of Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. in Liaoning Province in north-eastern China. Both the acetate and propionate of (2S,3S,7S)-3,7-dimethyl-2-pentadecanol (diprionol) were highly attractive. An addition of 10% of the (2S,3R,7R)-isomer did not significantly reduce the catch to the acetate. The (2S,3R,7R)-isomer was not attractive by itself. This is the first pheromone study of a species belonging to the recently described East Asian group of Neodiprion. The response of N. dailingensis males is similar to that of N. sertifer males in eastern part of Asia.
