ResumoThe major volatile chemical constituents present in the scent glands of the bronze orange bug (Musgraevia sulciventris) and the larger horned citrus bug (Biprorulus bibax) have been identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The amount of trans-2-octenyl acetate present in M. sulciventris showed considerable seasonal variation but no evidence was found to support the postulated rôle of this compound as a sex pheromone in these insects.
