Abstract
The staphylinid beetle Trichopsenius frosti Seevers has the same cuticular hydrocarbons as those of its host termite Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) and it biosynthesizes them. These cuticular hydrocarbons probably serve as the primary mechanism by which Trichopsenius frosti integrates itself into the termite colony.
摘要
缨甲科昆虫 Trichopsenius frosti Seevers 与它的宿主白蚁 Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) 具有相同的表皮碳氢化合物，并且它能够生物合成这些碳氢化合物。这些表皮碳氢化合物可能是 Trichopsenius frosti 融入白蚁群体的主要机制。
