摘要：

In Eurycotis floridana, male calling behavior is associated with the sex pheromone released by the anterior part of tergites 2, 7, and 8. Glandular extracts of tergite 7 revealed a characteristic odor of caramel which is attractive at a distance for the females. We identified the two compounds responsible for this odor, 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone and 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone. These compounds are known to be very important as flavor components of foods, but this is the first time that they have been identified as natural insect products. Various amounts of the identified compounds were tested, and their biological function is discussed.
