Abstract
Terpenoid constituents have been isolated
from the following Dolichoderus and Iridomyrmex ants. Dolichodial, a novel
dicarbonyl compound (C10H14O2), has been
extracted from D, acanthoclinea clarki (Wheeler), and D. acanthoclinea dentata
(Forel). It has also been obtained from I. myrmecodiae (Emery). The known
compounds, methylheptenone and iridodial, have been isolated from I. nitidiceps
(Andre).
D. diceratoclinea scabridus (Roger) yields
(i) methylheptenone and iridodial, or (ii) isoiridomyrmecin, or (iii)
dolichodial, dependent on the ant colony. Such variations in the nature of the
chemical secretion of different colonies of ants, which are taxonomically
indistinguishable, have not previously been reported. Similarly, I. rufoniger
(Lowne) yields (i) methylheptenone and iridodial, or (ii) dolichodial.
