Abstract The in vitro release of juvenile hormones (JH) by female, and of JH acids (JHA) by male corpora allata (CA) ofLeucania loreyi was identified by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Separation and quantification were accomplished by HPLC and GC, respectively. JH II and JH III were the major components released by CA of females. Four JHA analogues were identified as the release products of male CA, i.e. JHA III, Iso-JHA II, JHA II and JHA I. JHA III and Iso-JHA II were reported for the first time as the major release products of CA of adult male Lepidoptera. Iso-JHA II is a new member of the insect juvenile hormone analogue family.
