Nine compounds were detected in three different millipede species: Polydesmus complanatus (L.), Brachydesmus (Stylobrachydesmus) avalae Curcić & Makarov, and Brachydesmus (Stylobrachydesmus) dadayi Verhoeff. Benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, benzoylnitrile, benzyl methyl ketone, benzoic acid, benzyl ethyl ketone, mandelonitrile, and mandelonitrile benzoate were identified by GC-FID and GC-MS analyses. Hydrogen cyanide was detected qualitatively by the picric acid test. Benzyl ethyl ketone, benzyl methyl ketone, and benzyl alcohol were detected for the first time in polydesmidan millipedes. Benzoylnitrile was the major component in all three hexane extracts. These compounds are suspected to be active in the defensive secretions of these millipede species.
平胸龙（Polydesmus complanatus（L.））、Avala 短胸龙（Brachydesmus（Stylobrachydesmus）avalae Curcić & Makarov）和达大短胸龙（Brachydesmus（Stylobrachydesmus）dadayi Verhoeff）。通过 GC-FID 和 GC-MS 分析鉴定出了苯甲醛、苄醇、苯甲腈、苄基甲基酮、苯甲酸、苄基乙基酮、扁桃腈和扁桃腈苯甲酸酯。通过苦味酸试验定性检测到了氢氰酸。在多胸龙千足虫中首次检测到了苄基乙基酮、苄基甲基酮和苄醇。在所有三种己烷提取物中，苯甲腈都是主要成分。这些化合物被怀疑是这些千足虫物种防御分泌物中的活性成分。
