Seasonal occurrence patterns of Synanthedon tenuis and S. bicingulata (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) were monitored in sweet (non-astringent) persimmon orchards in the southern part of Korea from 2013 to 2105, using sex pheromone traps of the respective species. The two species occurred twice a year. Peak occurrences of the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ generations of S. tenuis were observed in late May nd mid to late September, respectively, while those of S. bicingulata were in early May to early June and mid to late September, respectively. Pooled catches of S. tenuis during the three years from the three locations showed that the $1^{st}$ generation was 1.9 times larger than the $2^{nd}$ generation. In contrast, pooled catches of S. bicingulata showed that the $2^{nd}$ generation was 1.3 fold larger than as the $1^{st}$ generation. However, it remains unclear whether S. bicingulata damages persimmon tree or not.

Pheromone-based techniques are becoming a viable strategy of insect pest management as facilitated by the exponential increase in numbers of pheromone identifications from many insect pests. This is the report on the efficacy of pheromone-mediated chemical communication disruption (PCD) technique against the Korean population of smaller clearwing moths, Synanthedon tenuis (Butler) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) using its female sex pheromone component, (Z, Z)-3, 13-octadecadien-1-ol. The PCD trials were carried out four times during 2016 and 2017 in persimmon orchards located at Suncheon and Jinju Cities in Korea, and the PCD efficacy was expressed as the mean differences in the seasonal catches of S. tenuis males in the PCD and control plots. The seasonal male moth catches in monitoring traps installed in the PCD plots were significantly lower as compared with those installed in the control plots. Consequently, the PCD efficacy in the experimental orchards ranged from 95.2-100% with an average efficacy of 98.8 ± 1.2%, revealing a future possibility of pheromone-based management of S. tenuis.

Clearwing moths (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) are economically important pests of fruit trees, such as apple, peach, and grape in Korea. Larvae feed on the phloem and cambium within tree branches of host plants. In this study, the seasonal fluctuation in male catches of four clearwing moths, Synanthedon haitangvora, S. bicingulata, Nokona regalis, and Glossosphecia romanovi, were monitored with the respective sex pheromone traps in Suwon for three years. In apple orchards, S. haitangvora males were captured from May to October, with two peaks in early June to middle June and late August to early September. Similarly, S. bicingulata males were trapped from May to October, with two peaks in late May and late August to middle September in peach orchards. In vineyards, N. regalis males were captured from late May to middle June with one peak in late May to early June, while G. romanovi males were trapped from early June to late July with one peak in late June to early July.
