Abstract: The species of Crambidae distribute worldwide, and many of them are important agricultural and/or forest pests. Synthetic sex pheromones have been used as a specific and environmentallyfriendly tool of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In this paper, we did statistical analysis and categorization on the Crambidae species, whose sex pheromone components have been identified, and their sex pheromone components. We also compared the chemical structure of the sex pheromone components and their distribution characteristics among different subfamilies, genera and species. This review can provide evidence for further identification of sex pheromone components of other Crambidae species, and also can provide basic data to further explore the evolution of moth insect sex pheromones.
