Periplanones
Title: Periplanones
Literature References: Sex pheromones of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana L., found primarily in the alimentary tract and excreta of the insect. They act as close proximity sex-excitants and function over relatively short distances compared to long range insect sex-attractants. Isoln: D. R. A. Wharton et al., Science 137, 1062 (1962).
