aCalling-behavior inhibitors were screened using five replicates of 10 adult female moths which were collected 24 h after emergence. The abdomen of moths were topically applied with synthetic test compounds dissolved in 1 µl methanol at the beginning of the onset of the first scotophase. Control females were topically applied with 1 µl methanol alone. The treated females were isolated in test tubes for 3 h and their calling behavior were observed. The response was taken as quantal (calling/not calling). ID50s were calculated by a sigmoidal curve-fitting program designed for log dose-probit activity analyses using a Macintosh personal computer system. In parentheses, 95% confidence limit values are shown.

bDid not inhibit significantly at 100 nmol.
