Abstrakt: Sex attractants have recently been reported for several species of Elateridae: Hypolithus bicolorEsch. (Doane 1961); Hemicrepidius morio(LeConte) (Chapman 1964) ; and Limonius californicus(Mann.), Agriotes ferrugineipennis(LeConte), Ctenicera sylvatica(Van Dyke), and C. destructor(Brown) (Lilly and McGinnis 1965). Lilly (1959) demonstrated the attractiveness to males of ethyl alcohol extracts from virgin females of the sugar-beet wireworm (L. Californicus). The attractants appear to be species-specific (Lilly and McGinnis 1965).
