Appeal No. 94-2842 Application 07/882,351 above is consistent with the evidence in Lampman I. In the Lampman declaration, in five of seven cases in which one of western corn rootworm or northern corn rootworm was attracted to a tested compound, the other corn rootworm also was attracted to some extent. While the extent of attraction of the Diabrotica species to volatile attractants appears to be species-specific, one of ordinary skill in the art would have a reasonable expectation, as discussed above, that a compound which attracts one Diabrotica species also will attract the other species to some extent. As with the declaration data discussed above, Lampman does not explain why or even assert that the results in the declaration are unexpected results. Claim 20 Claim 20 recites a method for attracting northern corn rootworm by use of an effective amount of a compound selected from a group of ten compounds, none of which is shown in the applied prior art to be effective for attracting any rootworm. Two of the compounds, 4-methoxyphenylethanol and phenylpropanol, are adjacent homologs of 4-methoxyphenyl alcohol and phenylethanol which Lampman I teaches are effective for attracting southern corn rootworm (page 964, Table 1).
