Adults and larvae of the thrips Callococcithrips fuscipennis (Moulton) (Thysanoptera: Tubulifera: Phlaeothripidae) live in the sticky wax masses of adult females of the felt scale insect Callococcus acaciae (Maskell) (Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea: Eriococcidae). The scale is sessile and feeds on Kunzea shrubs (Myrtales: Myrtaceae). If stressed, the thrips produce droplets of secretions. The mixture contains pentadecane, tridecane, two monoterpenoids, hexadecyl butanoate, and smaller amounts of 15 other esters of long-chain unbranched alcohols identified as acetates, butanoates, hexanoates, and octanoates. The monoterpenoids are dolichodial, an iridoid, and an unknown substance with a mass spectrum very similar to that of anisomorphal and peruphasmal, diastereomers of dolichodial, but with a different retention time. Iridoids, butanoates, hexanoates, and octanoates have not been previously identified in Thysanoptera.
蓟马Callococcithrips fuscipennis（莫尔顿）（缨翅目：管尾亚目：毛蓟马科）的成虫和幼虫生活在合欢绵粉蚧（马斯克尔）（胸喙亚目：蚧总科：绵蚧科）雌成虫的粘性蜡质团中。这种蚧虫固定不动，以昆士兰属灌木（桃金娘目：桃金娘科）为食。受到压力时，蓟马会分泌液滴。该混合物含有十五烷、十三烷、两种单萜类化合物、十六烷基丁酸酯，以及少量其他15种长链直链醇酯，分别鉴定为乙酸酯、丁酸酯、己酸酯和辛酸酯。单萜类化合物为长叶醛，一种环烯醚萜，以及一种未知物质，其质谱与长叶醛的非对映异构体异长叶醛和秘鲁长叶醛非常相似，但保留时间不同。环烯醚萜、丁酸酯、己酸酯和辛酸酯此前尚未在缨翅目中被鉴定出来。
