The synthetic sex-attractant and the two attraction-inhibitors, previously established for larch casebearer species Coleophora laricella Hbn. and Coleophora dahurica Flkv., were field tested on Coleophora sinensis Yang in plantations of Larix principis-rupprechtiiMayr. in Shanxi province, northwest of China, in 1992. Pure(Z)-5-decen-1-ol(Z5-10:OH) proved highly attractive at all test sites. (Z)-5-Dodecen-1-ol(Z5-12:OH) and (Z)-5-decenyl acetate (Z5-10:Ac) did not show attractive or synergistic properties but rather reduced male responses to Z5-10:OH sources; a 100 % Z5-12:OH addition lowered captures by ca. 70 %, and a 10 % and 100 % Z5-10:Ac by, respectively, ca. 90 % and almost 100 %. This pattern of attraction specificity roughly conforms to previous results on C. laricella and C. dahurica. Trapping tests using 100 mig Z5-10:OH (standard lure) revealed a one-month C. sinensis flight period and an early-morning attractant response. The species status of larch casebearers occurring in the People's Republic of China is briefly reconsidered from the point of pheromone response specificity
