Mendel, Z., Zegelman, L., Hassner, A., Assael, F., Harel, M., Tam, S., & Dunkelblum, E. 1995 Outdoor attractancy of males of Matsucoccus josephi (Homoptera: Matsucoccidae) and Elatophilus hebraicus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) to synthetic female sex pheromone of Matsucoccus josephi.. Journal of Chemical Ecology 21: 331-341.

Notes: Results show a clear dose-response between trap catch of M. josephi males and E. hebraicus; conversely, increasing amounts of the Z isomer in the mixture did not affect the attraction of the scale insect males or the bug; the catch of M. josephi males did not differ significantly among traps of different color, and was significantly higher with traps attached to the tree trunk than those suspended between trees; comparison of the catch of M. josephi among three forests and between pine species suggests that the level of infestation of Pinus halepepsis and P. brutia ssp. brutia is similar, despite the fact that the latter pine is resistant to the scale insect;.
