“…Although alkenes have been detected in several distinct families, such high proportions are not typical of terrestrial Coleoptera. n-Alkenes have been found in the epicuticular lipids of some species of the Cantharidae (Jacob 1978), Cucujidae (Howard 1992;Howard et al 1995), Curculionidae (Mody et al 1975;Baker et al 1984;Nelson et al 1984), Dermestidae (Baker 1978;Baker et al 1979a;Malinski et al 1986a), Staphilinidae (Howard et al 1978;Peschke and Metzler 1987), and Tenebrionidae (Lockey 1978a(Lockey , 1979. The n-alkenes of A. anthracinus form an incomplete series ranging from n-C2, to n-C3, in which n-CZ5 is the most abundant.…”

“…Terrestrial Coleoptera represent a good portion of the over 100 insect species whose cuticular hydrocarbons have been described (Lockey 1988;Howard 1993). All the species studied belong to diverse families of the suborder Polyphaga: Anobiidae (Baker et al 1979b), Bostrichidae (Howard and Liang 1993), Cantharidae (Jacob 1978;Brown et al 1988), Chrysomelidae (Malinski et al 1986a(Malinski et al , 1986bGolden et al 1992), Cucujidae (Howard 1992;Howard et al 1995), Curculionidae (Baker and Nelson 1981;Baker et al 1984;Nelson et al 1984), Dermestidae (Baker et al 1979a;Malinski et al 1 9 8 6~;Howard 1992), Scolytidae (Mody et al 1975;Page et al 1990aPage et al , 1990bHoward and Infante 1996), Staphylinidae (Peschke and Metzler 1987), and Tenebrionidae (Bursell and Clements 1967;Hadley 1977Hadley , 1978Hadley and Louw 1980;Lockey 1978aLockey , 1978bLockey , 1979Lockey , 1980Lockey , 1981Lockey , 1982aLockey , 1982bLockey , 1982cLockey , 1984aLockey , 1984bLockey , 1985aLockey , 1985bLockey , 1988Lockey , 1991Lockey , 1992Jackson et al 1980;Lockey and Metcalfe 1988;…”

CUTICULAR HYDROCARBON ANALYSIS OF THE AQUATIC BEETLEAGABUS ANTHRACINUSMANNERHEIM (COLEOPTERA: DYTISCIDAE)

1998

Relatively little information concerning the cuticular hydrocarbon composition of aquatic insects is known. The cuticular hydrocarbons of the aquatic beetle Agabus anthracinus Mannerheim have been identified with the aid of a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer. The cuticular hydrocarbon profile comprises n-alkanes (46.8%), n-alkenes (27.1%), and methylalkanes (25.9%) and is basically similar to that of terrestrial Coleoptera. However, the hydrocarbons of A. anthracinus differ in that (i) the shorter chain n-alkanes are present in higher proportion, (ii) there is a relatively lower abundance of methylalkanes, and (iii) the proportion of n-alkenes is significantly higher.

The Canadian Entomologist 130: 615 -629 (1998) Relatively little information concerning the cuticular hydrocarbon composition of aquatic insects is known. The cuticular hydrocarbons of the aquatic beetle Agabus anthracinus Mannerheim have been identified with the aid of a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer. The cuticular hydrocarbon profile comprises nalkanes (46.8%), n-alkenes (27.1%), and methylalkanes (25.9%) and is basically similar to that of terrestrial Coleoptera. However, the hydrocarbons of A. anthracinus differ in that (i) the shorter chain n-alkanes are present in higher proportion, (ii) there is a relatively lower abundance of methylalkanes, and (iii) the proportion of n-alkenes is significantly higher.

“…The choice of extraction solvent and extraction time depend on the quantity and quality of the waxes. For example, the cuticular waxes of the larvae and adults of khapra beetles Trogoderma granarium were obtained by immersing the insects in dichloromethane for 20 seconds (Maliński et al, 1986). A longer extraction was used to separate the cuticular waxes of four Periplaneta species (Said et al, 2005); in this case, insects anaesthetized in CO 2 were immersed in dichloromethane for 2 min.…”
