Gas chromatography of the cuticular hydrocarbons of 4 species of ticks belonging to the genus Rhipicephalus (R. sanguineus, R. turanicus, R. pusillus, and R. bursa) showed a unique pattern for each taxon. The hydrocarbon fractions were composed of a mixture of straight-chain, terminally methylated, and internally branched alkanes; however, only a small quantity of alkenes was detected. Freshly collected, dried, and alcohol-stored specimens of R. sanguineus were analyzed and their patterns found to be nearly identical. Collection of specimens from separate localities demonstrated a species-specific pattern for Spanish material.
对属于璃眼蜱属的4种蜱（血红扇头蜱、图兰扇头蜱、微小扇头蜱和囊形扇头蜱）表皮碳氢化合物进行气相色谱分析，结果显示每个分类单元都有独特的图谱。碳氢化合物组分由直链、末端甲基化和内部支链烷烃的混合物组成；然而，仅检测到少量烯烃。对新鲜采集、干燥和用酒精保存的血红扇头蜱标本进行分析，发现它们的图谱几乎相同。从不同地点采集的标本表明西班牙材料具有物种特异性图谱。
