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-

Bombardier beetles (Brachinini) use a rapid series of discrete explosions inside their pygidial gland reaction chambers to produce a hot, pulsed, quinone-based defensive spray. The mechanism of brachinines' spray pulsation was explored using anatomical studies and direct observation of explosions inside living beetles using synchrotron x-ray imaging ...
