Callosobruchus maculatus

No particular detection or inspection methods for Callosobruchus spp. have been developed.
The potential exists for the development of population monitoring by use of sex pheromones. The female-produced sex pheromone has been isolated and identified (Phillips et al., 1996);and the behavioural and electroantennogram (EAG) response to pheremonal components by males was recorded by Shu et al. (1996).
