Two sex pheromones, periplanone A and periplanone B, were isolated from Periplaneta americana (L.). The technique is described for collecting periplanone B from the alimentary tracts of virgin females. Periplanone A was extracted from the excreta. Mass spectral analysis of the pheromones and related compounds were performed, and the results are reported. Evidence is presented suggesting that periplanone A is in fact a degradation product of periplanone B.
