(a) A typical response to crude extracts of female aerations of antenna of Neomegalotomus parvus female and male in GC-EAG analyses. (b) A typical response to a synthetic mixture of compounds found in N. parvus aerations and scent glands of antenna of N. parvus female and male in GC-EAG analyses. (12) hexyl butanoate, (15) 4-methylhexyl-butanoate, (16) hexyl pentanoate, (18) 4-methylhexyl-pentanoate, and (19) hexyl hexanoate. In (b) the synthetic mixture tested was (12) hexyl butanoate (0.05 mg/mL), (15) 4-S-methylhexyl-butanoate (0.005 mg/mL), (16) hexyl pentanoate (0.0075 mg/mL), (18) 4-S-methylhexyl-pentanoate (0.002 mg/mL), and (19) hexyl hexanoate (0.0075 mg/mL).
