    Assessment of the potential of sex pheromones as strategic lures for the control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS17S
    (BSES, 1991) Allsopp, PG; Stickley, BDA
    Sex pheromones were shown to be emitted by females of Antitrogus consanguineus, A. parvulus and L. picticollis. Attraction of males of L. picticollis to females of A. consanguineus shows that the compound or compounds involved are similar in those two species. Detection of pheromones was probably related to the morphology of the adult antennae. One compound was present in emissions of adult female L. negatoria, but this compound could not be identified.
