Two components of the female sex attractant pheromone of the common cutworm moth, Agrotis fucosa BUTLER, were isolated from filter paper exposed to virgin females and identified as (Z)-5-decenyl acetate and (Z)-7-decenyl acetate. The ratio of (Z)-5-decenyl acetate to (Z)-7-decenyl acetate in the extract was 68 : 32. Synthetic compounds were weakly active or inactive for male attraction individually, but a mixture of these compounds showed potent attractant activity in field tests.
