Chem. anal. and field bioassays were conducted to identify major components of the sex pheromone of the southwestern pine tip moth, R. neomexicana. E-9-dodecenyl acetate was the most abundant pheromone component in gland washes, with 0.5-1.5 ng per female equivalent Z-9-dodecenyl acetate, and E- and Z-9-dodecenol were also present. A ratio of â?0:20 E:Z-9-dodecenyl acetate was the most attractive bait in field trapping. No males were caught in traps baited with a blend of E- and Z-9-dodecenol, and addition of these alcs. at about a 3:1 acetate/alc. ratio did not improve attractiveness to E- and Z-9-dodecenyl acetate baits. The role of pheromones in mating isolation of this species is discussed.
