pentadecene 13 which is known to be a contact poison. 14 Further purification of the minor component by preparative GC5 has now allowed identification of (g,@-a-famesene & based upon the GC retention time, GC/MS, PMR and FT-IR. Only one other lower termite (Reticulitermes flavipes, another rhinotennitid) has been shown to possess sesquiterpenes, 15 Ylcadinene g and 'l-cadinene aldehyde 3. These authors found no evidence for defensive or alarm functions of these chemicals in encounters with ants. Likewise, although the defensive value of the nitroalkene is understood, 14 no evidence is available for the function of the famesene in vivo.
