Note that the red coffee borer and a related species in PNG are now placed in a separate genus Polyphagozerra (Polyphagozerra coffeae and P. reticulata), so I wouldn’t necessarily expect that the synthetic blends for the European species will be similar to whatever works as an attractant for P. coffeae. Good luck!

Dear Padmini,
Christian's Pherobase (a fantastic resource for everything semiochemical!) link shows that a pheromone blend for Zeuzera coffeae has yet to be reported. However, the blend for the related species Z. purina has been determined and is used in control/monitoring for this pest in Europe. See this link for details:

All the known components for the genus Zeuzera are listed here:
Usually for moths within the same genus the major components will be similar, but perhaps in different proportions, and/or with different minor components.
