  • Description: <jats:p> Several <jats:italic>para</jats:italic> -substituted derivatives of 4-phenyl-2-butanone (I) have proved to be powerful attractants for the male melon fly ( <jats:italic>Dacus cucurbitae</jats:italic> ). These compounds, unlike anisylacetone, heretofore the best lure, attract even newly emerged flies. The most potent analog is 4-( <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> -acetoxyphenyl)-2-butanone (II), which also strongly attracts <jats:italic>Dacus ochrosiae</jats:italic> males. </jats:p>
