Abstract The sex pheromone of the San Jose scale,Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock), was isolated from airborne collections on Porapak Q. Two components, present in approximately equal amounts, were identified as (Z)-3,7-dimethyl-2,7-octadien-1-yl propanoate and 3-methylene-7-methyl-7-octen-1-yl propanoate. Greenhouse bioassays and field tests have shown that the compounds are independently attractive to male San Jose scale. These structures are compared with those of other known scale pheromones.
