摘要
The structures of the cuticular hydrocarbons of the termite Zootermopsis angusticollis were investigated. The major hydrocarbon components consist of homologous series of n-alkanes, 3-methylalkanes, 5-methylalkanes and an unusual dimethylalkane with branch points towards the alpha and omega termini of the chain. The chain lengths of the major components were from C21 to C25. No olefinic hydrocarbons were detected. © 1979.
