The southwestern pine tip moth, Rhyacionia neomexicana (Dyar), is a destructive pest of young ponderosa pine trees. Male moths are attracted to traps containing virgin females, but chromatographic fractions of female abdominal tips failed to entice males. A variety of synthetic materials were field tested at Chevelon, Arizona over a 6-year period (1971-1976). (Z)-7-Dodecen-l-ol acetate, (E)-7-dodecen-1-ol acetate, and especially (E)-9-dodecen-1-ol acetate were attractive to the male moth. However, none of the synthetic compounds was as effective as live virgin females.
