Dix, M. E. published the artcileSex pheromone of Retinia metallica (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): identification and field studies, COA of Formula: C14H26O2, the publication is Canadian Entomologist (1988), 120(8-9), 721-6, database is CAplus.
The major sex pheromone component from female moths of R. metallica was identified as Z7,E9-dodecadienyl acetate (Z7,E9:Ac) by a combination of electroantennog. (EAG), gas chromatog. (GC), and mass spectrometric analyses. In field tests, males of R. metallica were strongly attracted to Z7,E9-12:Ac. Addition of Z7,Z9-12:Ac, Z7,E9-dodecadienol (Z7,E9-12:OH), and Z7-dodecenyl acetate (Z7-12:Ac) to Z7,E9-12:Ac did not significantly alter trap catch. However, the addition of E9-dodecenyl acetate (E9-12:Ac) and Z9-12:Ac reduced trap catch. Trap catch was affected by height of placement; traps placed in the upper third of the tree (6 m) caught significantly more males than traps placed at lower heights.
