蛾类雌蛾性信息素分为Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型和杂型，前两种分别以末端官能团的存在和不存在来定义。蛾类雌蛾性信息素的分类随着我们对信息素分子的化学结构和形成化学结构的生物合成途径的了解的增加而不断完善。最近，有人提议在分类中增加0型和III型。0型信息素是一种短链的仲醇及其相应的甲基酮，已从一些原始蛾类中发现。III型信息素是在其碳链中含有一个或多个甲基支链的信息素。在本章中，我们回顾了蛾类雌性信息素的化学结构和分类，并讨论了不同类型的性信息素的进化方案。
Moth female sex pheromones have been classified into type I, type II, and miscellaneous, the former two of which are defined by the presence and absence of a terminal functional group, respectively. The classification of moth female sex pheromones is subject to refinement with the increase in our knowledge on the chemical structures of the pheromone molecules and biosynthetic pathways that underlie the formation of chemical structure. Recently, the addition of type 0 and type III to the classification has been proposed. Type-0 pheromones are short-chain secondary alcohols and their corresponding methyl ketones, which have been found from some primitive moths. Type-III pheromones are those containing one or more methyl branches in their carbon chain. In this chapter, we review the chemical structure and classification of moth female sex pheromones, and discuss scenarios for the evolution of different types of sex pheromones.
