The bioactive compounds from the sex pheromone of A. binocularis have been identified as a mixture of two previously unidentified pheromone compounds: E6-12:OH and E6-12:OAc. The mixture of both compounds was attractive to males in preliminary field experiments, and this study is the first report of Δ6-unsaturated monoenyl pheromone compounds in Lepidoptera. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
