Identification of the sex pheromone of Phyllophaga cuyabana (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) .

Phenol 1 and p-cresol 2 were identified as sex pheromone components released by females Phyllophaga cuyabana. The compounds are produced in a ratio of 1:1, as detected by the analysis of pheromone gland extract. In field experiments, the capture of males in traps baited with the synthetic blend were significantly higher than in control traps.
