Abstract

The olethreutine, <i>Phaneta latens</i> (Heinrich), was attracted to the pheromone of the codling moth <i>Cydia pomonella</i> (L.) , (E,E)-8,lO-dodecadien-l-ol. Field trapping records indicated that flights of <i>P. latens</i> occurred between May 12 and June 20, 1978, with the greatest trap catches in late May. In 1979 flights occurred from May 15 to July 2, and the peak catches dispersed throughout May and June. Responses of <i>P. latens</i> to the pheromone was significantly less at concentrations of 0.25 mg/ trap than at 1.0 and 2,0 mg/trap; the latter two were equally attractive.
