The small millipede Callipodella fasciata secretes an earthy smell when disturbed. This secretion was obtained by CH(2) Cl(2) extraction from specimens of both sexes and was identified by GC/MS analyses to be composed of p-cresol (96.5%), phenol (3.5%), and p-ethylphenol (traces). This is the first identification of these compounds in an epigean European callipodidan species and the first report of intergeneric differences in the chemical composition of defensive secretions in callipodidans. These compounds have repellent, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties.
当受到干扰时，小型千足虫 Callipodella fasciata 会分泌出一种泥土般的气味。这种分泌物是通过 CH(2)Cl(2) 从雌雄标本中提取得到的，并通过 GC/MS 分析鉴定为由对甲酚（96.5%）、苯酚（3.5%）和对乙基苯酚（微量）组成。这是首次在欧洲陆生 Callipodida 物种中鉴定出这些化合物，也是首次报道 Callipodidans 防御分泌物化学成分在属间存在差异。这些化合物具有驱避、抗菌和抗真菌的特性。
