- [The track pheromone of the termite Schedorhinotermes lamanianus (Sjöstedt)].
Abstract
The trail pheromone of the African Termite Schedorhinotermes lamanianus has been investigated. It consists of two active components: an unsaturated fatty alcohol probably in C14 and a corresponding esterified fraction. The interconversion of the two by acetylation-saponification has been demonstrated. However, it is not yet known whether the ester occurs naturally as an acetate or not. A carbonyl derivative, biologically inactive, has also been isolated; its reduction with NaBH4 leads to an active alcohol of same Rf value as the preceding one.

- Nests and Queen Migration in Schedorhinotermes actuosus (Hill), Schedorhinotermes breinli (Hill) and Coptotermes acinaciformis (Froggatt) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Abstract
A queen of the termite Schedorhinotermes actuosus was collected from a nest in a log at Gunn Point, N.T. There is evidence that the queen migrated to the log from some other nest site. S. actuosus does not appear to have either of the intermediate soldier forms known to exist in some other Schedorhinotermes spp. A nest series of S. breinli from Kakadu also provided evidence of colony migration. Queens of Coptotermes acinaciformes migrate seasonally within their mounds. It is suggested that migration of queens may be common and its occurrence in some other species is briefly discussed.
