摘要：

The cervical gland secretion of larvae of Schizura unicornis and S. badia (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) contains formic acid, acetic acid, and a mixture of lipophilic compounds, including 2-alkanones, 2-alkanols, and formates of the alkanols. In S. unicornis, the secretion also contains several omega-monounsaturated analogs of the alcohols, ketones, and formates. The absolute configuration of two of the alcohols (2-tridecanol and 2-pentadecanol) was established as S in both species. The larvae spray their secretion when physically disturbed, aiming it accurately in the direction of the offending agent.
