Chemistry of defensive secretions of bombardier beetles (Brachinini, Metriini, Ozaenini, Paussini)
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1977Abstract Data are given on the chemical composition of the defensive secretions of species of carabids of the genera Brachinus, Stenaptinus, Metrius, Goniotropis, Pachyteles, Ozaena, and Homopterus. All produce quinonoid secretions, containing from one to three of four different benzoquinones (1,4-benzoquinone; 2-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone; 2,3-dimethyl-

Flanged Bombardier Beetles from Laos (Carabidae, Paussinae)
2009The Paussinae of Laos were recently studied based on new material collected by the Natural History Museum Basel. Two species are described as being new to science, Lebioderus brancuccii sp.nov., and Paussus lanxangensis sp.nov., and two species are new records for Laos. All species are shown in drawings.
