title: Contact sex pheromone in the tsetse flyGlossina pallidipes (Austen) Identification and Synthesis.
abstract: Adult maleG. pallidipes attempted to copulate with decoys treated with a branched paraffin obtained from laboratory-reared female flies. The compound causing maximal response was isolated and identified as 13,23-dimethylpentatriacontane. The synthesized compound elicited increasing responses with increasing doses. This sex- and species-specific compound was always present in physiological amounts in females, as it increased from 2 μg at emergence to 10 μg per female at 14 days. It was present in wild-caught females from a wide geographical range.
