Three European julid species, Cylindroiulus boleti, Leptoiulus trilineatus, and Megaphyllum bosniense, secrete mixtures of up to 12 different quinones. The major components in these species are 2-methoxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone and 2-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone. 2-Methoxy-5-methylhydroquinone is detected for the first time in the Class Diplopoda. 2-Hydroxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,3-dimethoxyhydroquinone, 2-methyl-3,4-methylendioxyphenol, and 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylhydroquinone are registered for the first time in representatives of the family Julidae. The similar chemical composition of defense secretions in all analyzed European julids and Pacific spirobolids supports the idea of the chemical consistency of defensive compounds in juliform millipedes.
三种欧洲 julid 物种，Cylindroiulus boleti、Leptoiulus trilineatus 和 Megaphyllum bosniense，分泌多达 12 种不同的醌混合物。这些物种中的主要成分是 2-甲氧基-3-甲基-1,4-苯醌和 2-甲基-1,4-苯醌。2-甲氧基-5-甲基对苯二酚首次在多足纲中被检测到。2-羟基-3-甲基-1,4-苯醌、2,3-二甲氧基对苯二酚、2-甲基-3,4-亚甲二氧基苯酚和 2,3-二甲氧基-5-甲基对苯二酚首次在 julid 科的代表中被登记。所有分析的欧洲 julid 和太平洋 spirobolids 的防御分泌物具有相似的化学成分，这支持了 juliform 千足虫防御化合物化学一致性的观点。
