The attractiveness of six synthetic pheromones to forest Lepidoptera was studied at two locations in Czechoslovakia during 1983. The synthetic attractants tested included pheromones for Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) (Tortricidae), Eucosma sonomana Kearf. (Olethreutidae), Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lymantriidae), Orgyia pseudotsugata (McD.) (Lymantr.), Rhyacionia frustrana (Comst.) (Olethr.) and Rhyacionia buoliana (Schiff.) (Olethr.). The attractant for R. buoliana was prepared in Czechoslovakia for use with European species but the other five materials are of North American origin and intended for use with species there. Sticky traps baited with these pheromones captured some 32 species in 26 genera with significant numbers of species as follows: Traps with the C. fumiferana attractant contained Acleris sparsana (Den. et Schiff.) (Tortr.) and Cnephasia stephensiana (Doubl.) (Tortr.). Those with the E. sonomana attractant contained Enarmonia formosana (Scop.) (Tortr.) and Caradrina morpheus (Hufn.) (Noctuidae). The L. dispar material attracted L. monacha (L.) and L. dispar (L.). Traps with the O. pseudotsugata contained O. antiqua (L.) and those with the R. frustrana pheromone contained Cnephasia interjectana (Haw.) and Dichrorampha simpliciana (Haw.) (Olethr.). Traps with the R. buoliana attractant contained Gypsonoma oppressana (Treit.) (Olethr.). Our results indicate that substantial species, genus and family cross attraction occurs with some of the synthetic sex attractants tested. Zusammenfassung Forst‐Lepidopteren‐Fang mit 6 synthetischen Pheromonen in der CSSR Es wurde die Attraktivität von 6 synthetischen Pheromonen für forstliche Lepidopteren an 2 Standorten in der CSSR 1983 untersucht. Die verwendeten synthetischen Anlockstoffe enthielten Pheromone von Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) (Tortricidae), Eucosma sonomana Kearf. (Olethreutidae), Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lymantriidae), Orgyia pseudotsugata (McD.) (Lymantr.), Rhyacionia frustrana (Comst.) (Olethr.) und Rhyacionia buoliana (Schiff.) (Olethr.). Der Anlockstoff für R. buoliana wurde in der CSSR zum Gebrauch bei europäischen Arten hergestellt, während die anderen 5 Wirkstoffe aus Nordamerika stammten. Mit diesen Pheromonen versehene Leimfallen fingen 32 Arten von 26 Gattungen Lepidopteren, wobei folgende Kombinationen (Pheromon/Species) die wichtigsten waren: C. fumiferana ‐Pher. /Acleris sparsana (Den. et. Schiff.) (Tortric.) und Cnephasia stephensiana (Doubl.) (Tortr.); E. sonomana ‐Pher. /Enarmonia formosana (Scop.) (Tortr.) and Caradrina morpheus (Hufn.) (Noctuidae); Lymantria dispar ‐Pher. /L. dispar (L.) und L. monacha (L.); Orgyia pseudotsugata ‐Pher. /O. antiqua (L.); Rhyacionia ‐Pher. /Cnephasia interjectana (Haw.) und Dichrorampha simpliciana (Haw.) (Olethr.); Rhyacionia buoliana ‐Pher. /Gypsonoma oppressana (Treit.) (Olethr.). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die getesteten synthetischen Anlockstoffe im wesentlichen Umfang Arten‐, Gattungen‐ und Familien‐Kreuzanlockung aufwiesen.
