The Scent Substances of Pierid Butterflies (Hebomoia glaucippe Linnaeus) and the Volatile Components of Their Food Plants (Crataeva religiosa Forst.)
The scent secretions of two subspecies of Hebomoia glaucippe, which are pierid butterflies, and the essential oils of their food plant were investigated by means of GC and GC-MS. The scent substances of either subspecies are found to be only E-β-ocimene, and the volatile components of Crataeva relig...

Zusammenfassung: | The scent secretions of two subspecies of Hebomoia glaucippe, which are pierid butterflies, and the essential oils of their food plant were investigated by means of GC and GC-MS. The scent substances of either subspecies are found to be only E-β-ocimene, and the volatile components of Crataeva religiosa were identified as 2-hexanal, 3-hexen-1-ol, p-cymene, limonene, linalool, α-ionone, and β-ionone. Electroantennogram (EAG) were recorded with the antennae of adult male and female butterflies. It was found that EAG responses of male to E-β-ocimene were greater than those of females. |
