White plastic insect traps (manufactured by Sankei Chemical Co., Ltd.) equipped with four chemicals with floral scents, namely, benzyl acetate, methyl benzoate, methyl phenylacetate and linalool, were set from June 28 to August 9, 1996. The traps were placed in a Japanese beech (Fagus creata) forest, Minakami, Gunma Prefecture, Central Japan, and trapped longicorn beetles were collected weekly. The greatest number of species and individuals belonged to the subfamily Lepturinae dominated by the genusPidonia. No significant differences were observed in the performances of the above four chemicals in either the total number of species or of individuals. However, more Lamiinae species were captured in the traps with methyl phenylacetate, than in those with methyl benzoate.
