Popis:	Extracts of confused flour beetle ( Tribolium confusum ) volatiles were separated into their components by gas chromatography and identified by mass spectroscopy as 1-pentadecene, n -hexadecane, 1-heptadecene, and heptadecadiene, the last three reported for the first time in this species. The first three of these compounds were tested and found to induce copulation. The pheromones are produced in males and females but appear to affect males only.
