“…philippinensis ’), our data further prove that epicuticular profiles are reliable chemotaxonomic markers for species delimitation. Hydrocarbons have been used for species identification in many insect orders, including the Hemiptera [ 44 , 45 ], Hymenoptera [ 46 – 48 ], Isoptera [ 49 , 50 ], Orthoptera [ 51 ], and Diptera [ 18 , 52 , 53 ]. In fruit flies, CHs have been successfully used for species and population discrimination within the South American fruit fly species complex and the so-called African Ceratitis FAR complex species ( C .…”

Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta & White, Bactrocera papayae Drew & Hancock, and Bactrocera philippinensis Drew & Hancock, key pest species within the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex, have been recently synonymized under the name Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). The closely related Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock remains as a discrete taxonomic entity. Although the synonymizations have been accepted by most researchers, debate about the species limits remains. Because of the economic importance of this group of taxa, any new information available to support or deny the synonymizations is valuable. We investigated the chemical epicuticle composition of males and females of B. dorsalis, B. invadens, B. papayae, B. philippinensis, and B. carambolae by means of one- and two-dimensional gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, followed by multiple factor analyses and principal component analysis. Clear segregation of complex cuticule profiles of both B. carambolae sexes from B. dorsalis (Hendel) was observed. In addition to cuticular hydrocarbons, abundant complex mixtures of sex-specific oxygenated lipids (three fatty acids and 22 fatty acid esters) with so far unknown function were identified in epicuticle extracts from females of all species. The data obtained supports both taxonomic synonymization of B. invadens, B. papayae, and B. philippinensis with B. dorsalis, as well as the exclusion of B. carambolae from B. dorsalis.

Cuticular hydrocarbon components in beetles of six Australian melolonthines whose larvae damage sugarcane, Antitrogus parvulus (Britton), A. consanguineus (Blackburn), Lepidiota negatoria (Blackburn), L. picticollis (Lea), L. noxia (Britton) and Dermolepida alborhirtum (Arrow), are identified and compared. These species demonstrate species-specific cuticular hydrocarbon profiles with a number of unprecedented structures. Major components have been identified as polymethylated hydrocarbons, 3-methyl substituted n-alkanes, 9,10-allenes and the corresponding C9 alkenes. The similarity of these compounds shows some correlation with the phylogeny of the beetles, but two polymethylated C22 hydrocarbons are unique to A. parvulus. One C25 allene is shown to have a potential role in mate recognition in A. consanguineus.

“…Species and subspecies status are currently being applied to the horn and buffalo flies by various authors. One approach to species identification which could clarify this situation is cuticular hydrocarbon profiling (Lockey, 1991), which has been successfully applied to a number of problem species (Brown et al, 1998;Broza et al, 2000;Carlson et al, 1993;Howard et al, 2003). The cuticular hydrocarbons of H. irritans have been identified (Mackley et al, 1981), with the major components being odd-numbered, straight-chain C21-C29 saturated hydrocarbons and mono-unsaturated (alkene) C23, C25 and C27 hydrocarbons.…”
