This leaf alcohol, dispensed in polyethylene vials inside clear invaginated McPhail traps suspended on fig trees, captured 60 flies/trap/day with a 3:1 ratio of females to males. Hexanol alone was just as effective an attractant as a 2% ammonium sulpate solution but much more selective in attracting S. adipata. However, the combination of hexanol with ammonium sulphate captured three times as many S. adipata as either attractant alone1 aKatsoyannos, B.I.1 aGuerin, P.M.  uhttps://lonchaeidae.myspecies.info/hexanol-potent-attractant-black-fig-fly-silba-adipata
