IV measured by a high-sensitive GC/FT-IR instrument indicated its 2Z,4E configuration. 4) The structure of Comp. IV was confirmed by synthesis utilizing the double Wittig reaction. 5) Male attraction by synthetic lures in the field has not succeeded, indicating necessity of additional pheromone component(s).
