Abstract

The white flocculent sex attracting secretion produced by the male dung beetle, Kheper lamarcki MacLeay, was found to consist of tubular polypeptide fibres containing hexadecanoic acid, 2,6-dimethyl-5-heptenoic acid and (E)-nerolidol as major components, while a trace of skatole is responsible for the unpleasant odour of the secretion.
