Abstract

The males of four species of the genus Adscita Retzius, 1783 (Zygaenidae, Procridinae) were attracted by synthetic sex attractants from the series ‘EFETOV-2’ (patented name) in Portugal, Spain and France in 2025. The sex attractants for Adscita (Adscita) jordani (Naufock, 1921) and Adscita (Adscita) schmidti (Naufock, 1933), two endemic species of the Iberian Peninsula, were discovered for the first time.
