The enantiomers of 2-butyl 2-dodecenoate synthesised in the Crimean Federal University are known as the sex attractants for Procridinae species (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae). These compounds, alone and in combination, were applied for studying the Zygaenidae fauna in Italy for four years from 2015 to 2018. We evaluated the effectiveness of the three following variants: EFETOV-2 (the racemic mixture of (2R)-butyl 2-dodecenoate and (2S)-butyl 2-dodecenoate), EFETOV-S-2 (the R-enantiomer alone) and EFE
