Popis:	The sex attractant pheromone produced by adult females of the mirid bug Phytocoris californicus Knight has been identifed as a 2:1 blend of hexyl acetate and E 2-octenyl acetate. The pheromone is stage-, sex-, and species-specific, attracting only adult male P. californicus. Hexyl acetate was identified in aeration extracts from both sexes, whereas E 2- octenyl acetate was produced only by females. Both males and females also produced hexyl butyrate and hexanol, whereas only females produced octyl acetate, E 2-hexenyl and octenyl acetates, Z3-octenyl acetate, and E 2-octenyl butyrate. The function(s) of the chemicals that were not part of the attractant pheromone were not determined. Attraction of males increased with dose over a dose range of 0.1-33 mg loaded on gray rubber septa. Attractiveness of rubber septum lures decreased quickly with age because of the volatility of the 2 pheromone components
