  abstract = {{W}hittleia retiella ({N}ewman, 1847) is a threatened salt marsh species of the bagworm moth family {P}sychidae. {F}or its preservation it is necessary to develop efficient tools to survey its distribution and habitat requirements in order to use appropriate conservation methods. {S}uch tools may be pheromone-based monitoring systems, which have documented efficacy in establishing the occurrence of cryptic insect species in nature. {B}y using gas chromatography combined with electroantennographic detection ({GC}-{EAD}), we found two compounds in female {W}. retiella headspace samples and whole-body extracts that elicited electrophysiological activity in male antennae. {G}as chromatograpy coupled with mass spectrometry ({GC}-{MS}) operating in electron impact ({EI}) mode and comparison of the analytical data with those of synthetic reference compounds showed the chemical structures of these putative pheromone components to be (1{S})-1-methylpropyl (5{Z})-dec-5-enoate and 1-methylethyl (5{Z})-dec-5-enoate. {F}ield assays using baits loaded with synthetic compounds revealed that conspecific males were attracted to (1{S})-1-methylpropyl (5{Z})-dec-5-enoate alone or in combination with 1-methylethyl (5{Z})-dec-5-enoate, whereas 1-methylethyl (5{Z})-dec-5-enoate neither attracted nor repelled males in the field assays when tested alone. {T}his study shows the potential of using (1{S})-1-methylpropyl (5{Z})-dec-5-enoate for monitoring {W}. retiella to gather more detailed information about the geographic distribution and habitat needs of this rare moth.},
