The Asian wood-boring beetle  Anoplophora chinensis  (Forster) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an important pest of hardwood trees in its native range, and has serious potential to invade other areas of the world through worldwide commerce in woody plants and wood products. This species already has been intercepted in North America, and is the subject of ongoing eradication efforts in several countries in Europe. Attractants such as pheromones would be immediately useful as baits in traps for its detection. Because long-range pheromones are frequently conserved among closely related species of cerambycids, we evaluated two components of the volatile pheromone produced by males of the congener  A .  glabripennis  (Motschulsky), 4-( n -heptyloxy)butan-1-ol and 4-( n -heptyloxy)butanal, as potential pheromones of  A .  chinensis . Both compounds subsequently were detected in headspace volatiles from male  A .  chinensis , but not in volatiles from females. Only 4-( n -heptyloxy)butanol elicited responses from beetle antennae in coupled gas chromatography-electroantennogram analyses, and this compound attracted adult  A .  chinensis  of both sexes in field bioassays. These data suggest that 4-( n -heptyloxy)butan-1-ol is an important component of the male-produced attractant pheromone of  A .  chinensis , which should find immediate use in quarantine monitoring for this pest.
