title: Identification of two components of the sex pheromone of the moth,Epiphyas postvittana (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae).
abstract: Two compounds, (E)-11-tetradecen-1-yl acetate and (E,E)-9,11-tetradecadien-1-yl acetate, have been identified in extracts of females of the lightbrown apple moth,Epiphyas postvittana (Walker).
