Abstract	Anethole, n-butyric acid, citral, citronellal, eucalyptus oil, eugenol, geraniol, hexanoic acid, hexan-1-ol, 3-hexen-1-ol, 1-nonanol, pentanoic acid, phenol, sorbic acid and the standard Trece Japanese beetle floral lure (10:22:11, 2-phenylethylpropionate: eugenol: geraniol) were tested as attractants for Anoplognathus porosus, Antitrogus consanguineus, A. parvulus, Dermolepida albohirtum, Lepidiota crinita, L. negatoria, L. noxia, L. picticollis, and Metanastes vulgivagus. None were effective attractants. The apparent activity of sorbic acid would justify testing butyl sorbate as an attractant.
