在雄虫头胸提取液中发现了己二酸二甲酯(DBE-6)和戊二酸二甲酯(DBE-5)两种二元酯。DBE-5引起男性和女性的腹部摆动和抬高，这在遇到男性时典型地表现出来。雄性避免了DBE-6，在交配的雌性身上检测到了DBE-6，但在处女的雌性身上没有检测到。这两种物质都适用于处女，导致女性被男性忽视。关于雄性交配系统，讨论了这两种物质的作用。
Two dibasic esters, the dimethyl ester of hexanedioic acid (dimethyl adipate, DBE-6) and the dimethyl ester of pentanedioic acid (dimethyl glutarate, DBE-5) were found in head-thorax extracts of male Echinothrips americanus. DBE-5 induced abdomen wagging and raising in males and females, which is typically exhibited when encountering a male. DBE-6 was avoided by males and was detected on mated, but not on virgin, females. Both substances applied to virgin females lead to females being ignored by males. The role of both substances is discussed with regard to the male mating system.
