The sex attractants for the Procridinae had been produced in the Crimean Federal University and were esters of 2-dodecenoic acid and isomers of 2-butanol: EFETOV-2 [racemic mixture of  <i>R </i>- and  <i>S </i>-enantiomers], EFETOV-S-2 [R-enantiomer] and EFETOV-S-S-2 [ <i>S </i>-enantiomer].  <i>Zygaena  </i>attractants were made at Canterbury Christ Church University using a range of acetate compounds with known attraction to various genera as originally identified by Priesner et al. (1984). Fourteen Zygaenidae species from four genera belonging to Procridinae and Zygaeninae subfamilies were found:  <i>Rhagades  </i>Wallengren, 1863 (1 species),  <i>Adscita  </i>Retzius, 1783 (1 species),  <i>Jordanita  </i>Verity, 1946 (4 species), and  <i>Zygaena  </i>Fabricius, 1775 (8 species). </span> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b>}, number={2}, publisher={Türkiye Entomoloji Derneği}, organization={This study was supported by BAP with Project No: 16525, financed by Hatay Mustafa Kemal University of Turkey.}
