摘要：

The paper provides further clues as to the physiological function and biological significance of the 'accessory gland' in the metathoracic scent apparatus of the lygaeid Oncopeltus fasciatus. From various lines of evidence (gas chromatographic, cytochemical) it is concluded as probable that the accessory gland secretes small quantities of a mucopolysaccharide secretory product together with water. The difficulty of reconciling these data with other data indicating that the accessory gland is involved in the biosynthesis of the scent aldehydes is discussed. It is suggested that the water secreted into the median scent reservoir by the accessory gland provides O. fasciatus with a means of volumetric compensation for a diminished output of scent repellent. © 1979.
