“…Each gland is a two-compartment apparatus. The inner compartment reservoir contains an aqueous solution of hydroquinones and hydrogen peroxide, while the outer compartment contains a mixture of catalases and peroxidases (Schildknecht and Holoubek, 1961;Schildknecht, Maschwitz, and Maschwitz, 1968).…”

“…Carabid beetles are known to produce a large variety of defensive substances, and their chemical nature has been elucidated in more than 500 species ( Schildknecht et al 1964 , 1968 ; Eisner et al 1963 ; Eisner 1970 ; Eisner et al 1977 ; Moore and Wallbank 1968 ; Moore 1979 ; Forsyth 1970 , 1972 ; Kanehisa 1996 ; Scott et al 1975 ; Dazzini-Valcurone and Pavan 1980 ; Will et al 2000 ). The defensive compounds are produced by a pair of glands that open at the tip of the abdomen, known as the “pygidial glands” ( Eisner 1958 , 1970 ; Eisner and Aneshansley 1982 , 1999 ; Eisner et al 1992 , 2000 ).…”

Volatile compounds released by disturbed and undisturbed adults of Anchomenus dorsalis (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Platynini) and structure of the pygidial gland

Volatile compounds produced by adults of Anchomenus dorsalis under undisturbed and disturbed conditions were investigated with an all-glass aeration apparatus. GC-MS analysis of the crude extracts from undisturbed and disturbed adults highlighted four major volatile compounds, undecane, heneicosane, Z-9 tricosene and tricosane, of which significantly more undecane was released by disturbed adults compared to undisturbed beetles. The pygidial glands of adults of Anchomenus dorsalis were investigated using light and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Each gland showed dense aggregates of secretory cells organized into visually distinct lobes; a long collecting canal that drains the secretion towards the reservoir, a bean-shaped double lobed muscular reservoir in which secretion is stored and a short duct (efferent duct) through which the secretion is discharged. The function of the pygidial glands and the possible role played by undecane as a defensive allomone and/or chemical signalling molecule are discussed.

“…1). One lineage, the brachinoid lineage, includes the familiar bombardiers (genera Brachinus and Stenaptinus, among others) in which the bombarding mechanism was first worked out (Schildknecht 1957;Schildknecht & Holubek 1961;Schildknecht et al 1968Schildknecht et al , 1970Aneshansley et al 1969). The other lineage, the paussoid lineage, includes beetles of several tribes that also bombard (Eisner & Aneshansley 1982;Aneshansley et al 1983;Eisner et al 1992Eisner et al , 2000, but which on account of more restricted distribution and secretive habits are generally less known.…”

Spray mechanism of crepidogastrine bombardier beetles (Carabidae; Crepidogastrini)

et al. 2001

The defensive glandular apparatus of primitive bombardier beetles of the tribe Crepidogastrini (Carabidae) is described for the first time. As exemplified by two African species (Crepidogaster ambreana and C. atrata), the apparatus conforms to the basic bombardier plan, in that the glands are bicompartmented and the secretion is quinonoid (it contains 1,4-benzoquinones and hydrocarbons), hot, and discharged audibly. In a number of morphological respects the crepidogastrine apparatus resembles that of the classical bombardiers of the tribe Brachinini (rather than that of bombardiers of the paussoid lineage), reinforcing the view, already held on taxonomic grounds, that the Crepidogastrini and Brachinini are closely related. That the Crepidogastrini may be primitive relative to Brachinini is underscored by the finding that, unlike brachinines, crepidogastrines do not pulse their secretory emissions. Moreover, they discharge their secretion as a mist, rather than forcibly in the form of jets.
