Abstract

An undescribed species ofMyrmica collected in Idaho has been shown to have the same substances in its mandibular glands (3-octanol and 3-octanone and related 3-alkanols and 3-alkanones) and in its Dufour gland (linear alkanes, alkenes, and farnesene isomers and homologs) as previously examined European species ofMyrmica. The poison gland contains the trail pheromone 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine, common to allMyrmica species studied so far. The Dufour gland contains large amounts of bishomofarnesene, which easily distinguishes it from some 13 otherMyrmica already known.

摘要

在爱达荷州采集到的一种未被描述的拟黑多刺蚁（Myrmica）物种，其下颚腺（3-辛醇和 3-辛酮以及相关的 3-烷醇和 3-烷酮）和杜氏腺（直链烷烃、烯烃和法呢烯异构体和同系物）中含有与以前研究过的欧洲拟黑多刺蚁物种相同的物质。毒腺含有追踪信息素 3-乙基-2,5-二甲基吡嗪，这是迄今为止所有研究过的拟黑多刺蚁物种共有的。杜氏腺含有大量的双-法呢烯，这使它与其他 13 种已知的拟黑多刺蚁明显不同。
