## Abstract Male cockroaches of the species __Periplaneta americana__ rely on a female‐produced airborne pheromone to initiate courting behavior. The male responds to the presence of the pheromone with rapid, oriented locomotion. Contact with the female (or other males or larvae) elicits wing‐raising and other responses characteristic of male courtship behavior. Males of other species within the genus __Periplaneta__ also respond to a female‐produced pheromone, but with less intensity than __P. americana.__ Cross‐species testing shows that __P. brunnea__ males respond to the __Periplaneta__ pheromone with the same intensity elicited by the __P. brunnea__ pheromone. A second reaction group containing __P. australasiae, P. fuliginosa__, and __P. japonica__ also responds to the __P. americana__ pheromone and their conspecific pheromones, but with a low intensity characteristic of these species. Alteration of the antennal morphology of __P. americana__ males can be experimentally induced by manipulating the level of juvenile hormone during development. Males with a full adult complement of olfactory receptors all respond behaviorally to the pheromone. Adult males with larval antennae p
