Popis:	The closely related species of the gypsy and the nun moth (Lymantria (Porthetria) dispar andL. monacha) were investigated with respect to their electrophysiological (electro-antennogram and single cell) responses to the sex pheromone (disparlure:cis-7,8-epoxy-2-methyl-octadecane) and 56 structurally related epoxides and the disparlure-precursor olefin. Within the limitations of reproducibility of the measurements the sequence of the effectiveness of all the tested compounds is nearly identical in both species, disparlure being every time the most effective compound. From this is deduced a high similarity in the receptor systems for female pheromones of the two moth species.
