Syntheses and behaviour activity of conjugated polyenic pheromone components. Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, June 2004. ABSTRACT This thesis deals with the synthesis of conjugated dienic and trienic pheromone components- C12-C16 alcohols, acetates and aldehydes and their applications in pheromone communication studies. Insect pheromones are widely used in modern pest management. The development of effective tools for plant protection is a result of complex broad, interdisciplinary basic and applied research. A practical use of pheromones for pest management usually requires that specific active chemicals must be isolated, identified and produced synthetically. The creation of pheromone materials besides requires the identification of the active components, determination of the roles of other possible isomers or degradation products, the design of dispensers of suitable substrates and evaporation parameters. The aim of the thesis was critically to survey methods for the syntheses of conjugated polyenic compounds and to focus to the synthesis of several conjugated polyenic pheromone components providing sufficient quantities of chemically and isomerically pure compounds for bioassaying. The principal objective of the thesis was concerned with the further aim of developing effective synthetic materials for plant protection. The work was focussed: ⇒ To identify the compounds collected from the leafminer moth Phyllonorycter emberizaepenella (Lepidoptera: Gracillaridae) and perform a detailed identification of the pheromones of the Brazilian apple leafroller Bonagota cranaodes (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and of the codling moth Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). ⇒ To study the effect of non-pheromonal isomers of the main pheromone component on the sex attraction of B. cranaodes and C. pomonella in wind tunnel and field tests. ⇒ To study the role of identified pheromone components in the pheromone communication of the currant shoot borer Lampronia capitella (Cl.) (Lepidoptera: Prodoxidae), and to design and optimize the dispenser for effective trapping. ⇒ To investigate the presence of sex pheromone components in the tobacco hawk moth Manduca sexta (L.) (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae). The syntheses of four geometrical isomers of 3,5-dodecadienyl acetate; (10E,12E,14Z)- and (10E,12E,14E)-(10,12,14)-hexadecatrien-1-als; (E,Z)-, (Z,E)-, and (Z,Z)-8,10-dodecadienol, codlemone acetate and aldehyde; (9Z,11Z)-9,11-tetradecadienol, corresponding acetate and aldehyde; all geometrical isomers of 8,10-and 10,12-tetradecadienols and corresponding acetates were performed to ensure all these bioassays with synthetic pheromone components. All compounds were made in high chemical and stereochemical purity, most of them more than 99% isomerically pure or by using several separation and purification techniques. The suitable synthetic schemes for the synthesis of all four geometrical isomers of four conjugated dienic pheromone components are presented in this thesis. The reactions and purification methods used here exemplify the wide range of possibilities realized for such syntheses: they present the successful application of many synthetic methods. The importance of this synthetic work is that the compounds synthesized are not commercially available or on the other hand the purity of the purchasable compounds is not satisfactory for research in the field of chemical ecology.

    ISSN 1808-6810 Bioecologia, Monitoramento e Controle de Bonagota salubricola (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) em Macieira 97 Introdução A macieira Malus domestica Borkhausen é uma das principais frutíferas de clima temperado cultivadas no Brasil, com produção localizada principalmente nos Estados do Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina, que respondem por 98% da produção nacional (IBGE, 2012). Diversos fatores podem comprometer a exploração econômica da malicultura nesses Estados, merecendo destaque o ataque de insetos praga (KOVALESKI; RIBEIRO, 2003). A lagarta-enroladeira da macieira Bonagota salubricola (Meyrick, 1937) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) é uma das pragas chave por danificar os frutos desde o início da frutificação até a colheita (KOVALESKI, 2004; BOTTON et al., 2009). O emprego de inseticidas químicos ainda é o principal método de controle empregado pelos fruticultores. No entanto, a maioria dos inseticidas apresentam restrições quanto à toxicidade e à possibilidade de deixar resíduos tóxicos nos frutos (BOTTON et al., 2000a; THOMSON et al., 2001; KOVALESKI; RIBEIRO, 2003; KOVALESKI, 2004; Circular Técnica BOTTON et al., 2009). Além disso, o uso contínuo de uma única estratégia de controle pode selecionar populações resistentes, resultando na necessidade de Bento Gonçalves, RS Outubro, 2013 pulverizações adicionais ou no aumento da dose aplicada e/ou troca de princípio ativo, geralmente de custo mais elevado.

Incurvariidae and Prodoxidae from the Himalayan area (Lepidoptera: Incurvarioidea). Ins. matsum. n.s. 26: 187-200, 26 figs. One species of Incurvariidae s. str., Incurvaria evocata (Meyrick, 1924), n. comb., and two species of Prodoxidae (=Lamproniidae) sensu Nielsen, Lampronia quinquepunctata n. sp. and L. novempunctata n. sp. from Nepal, are reported. The Incurvariidae and Prodoxidae are briefly redefined. All species and their genitalia are described and illustrated. The phylogeny and biogeography of the species are discussed: the presence of Incurvaria and Lampronia in the Himalaya adds notably to the range of the two genera. One lectotype is designated.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Mass rearing of parasitoids depends on choosing appropriate alternative hosts. The objective of this study was to select alternative hosts to rear the parasitoid Palmistichus elaeisis Delvare & LaSalle, 1993 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Pupae of the lepidopterans Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner, 1818 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Bombyx mori Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) and Thyrinteina arnobia (Stoll, 1782) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) were exposed to parasit- ism by females of P. elaeisis. The duration of the life cycle of P. elaeisis was 21.60 ± 0.16 and 24.15 ± 0.65 days on pupae of A. gemmatalis and B. mori, respectively, with 100.0% parasitism of the pupae and 71.4 and 100.0% emergence of parasitoids from the first and second hosts, respectively. The offspring number of P. elaeisis was 511.00 ± 49.70 and 110.20 ± 19.37 individuals per pupa of B. mori and A. gemmatalis, respectively. The reproduction of P. elaeisis from pupae of T. arnobia after six generations was similar to the other hosts.
