[Objectives]  To identify effective lures for trapping Batocera horsfieldi (Hope). [Methods]  The feeding preferences of B. horsfieldi adults on the host plants Carya cathayensis Sarg., Fraxinus chinensis Roxb.、Koelreuteria integrifoliola Merr. and Rosa multiflora Thunb, were studied. We used the adsorption method combined with GC-MS to analyze host plant volatiles extracted from healthy branches of these plants, and GC-EAD to detect the antennal response of adult beetles to the extracted host plant volatiles. We then tested the effectiveness of related compounds as lures for trapping B. horsfieldi in the field. [Results]  F. chinensis was the preferred host plant of B. horsfieldi, followed by K. integrifoliola and C. cathayensis; no insects fed on R. multiflora. The main components of host plant volatiles were terpenes and hydrocarbons, and volatiles differed significantly between host plants. Nonanal caused a significant GC-EAD reaction in B. horsfieldi. Field trapping showed that cis-3-hexenol and nonanal were effective in luring male B. horsfieldi into traps. Cis-3-hexenol also attracted Anoplophora chinensis beetles into traps. [Conclusion]  Test results indicate that cis-3-hexenol and nonanal are two effective lures for trapping B. horsfieldi in the field. Cis-3-hexenol effectively lures both B. horsfieldi and A. chinensis into traps.
