    Notes: Abstract The soldier beetleChauliognathus lugubris is shown to contain triglycerides and glyceride ethers of 8-dihydromatricaria acid, and waxes of the C12 homolog, of this acid, as well as the previously reported free acid. The triglycerides contain one, two, or three dihydromatricariate moieties, with any remaining positions esterified with normal fatty acids. The glyceride ethers were monostearyl ethers of glycerol esterified with dihydromatricaria acid and oleic or linoleic acid. The waxes, which also include a dihydromatricaria chromophore in the alcohol moiety, occur only in the females and are present in paired accessory glands in the abdomen. The ethers are restricted to females and appear to be associated with developing eggs. The triglycerides are much more abundant in females than males. Triglycerides, glyceride ethers, and waxes represent about 95% of the dihydromatricariate moiety (average, ca. 590 μg) in females with free acid the remainder; in males free acid is present to over 50% (ca. 22 μg) and the remainder is triglyceride (ca. 15 μg). Larvae contain mainly tridihydromatricariate-substituted triglyceride and a smaller quantity of the free acid.

    Notes: Abstract The airborne sex pheromone components (Z,E)-9,12-tetradeca-dien-1-yl acetate and (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-y1 acetate from single calling females ofEphestia cautella (Walker) were trapped within glass capillary tubes and were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Broad and similar distributions of relative quantities were found for a laboratory strain and three Australian field strains, and means differed strongly from those reported previously for this species. The overall mean proportion of the two components found for Australian females was 88∶12. The composition in individuals ranged from 63∶27 to 97∶3. The proportions for individuals appeared to vary slightly in a random fashion from day to day, and proportions for first-generation progeny were influenced by the maternal blend.

    Notes: The plasma desorption (PD) mass spectra of several enzymes and proenzymes are reported. Chymotrypsin and chymotrypsinogen both yield usable PD mass spectra; however, the single-chain chymotrypsinogen exhibits better sensitivity and less fragmentation than the multi-chain chymotrypsin. Porcine pepsinogen contains 11 more basic residues (lysine and arginine) than porcine pepsin, but this does not lead to an increase in positive ion response. In fact, the additional basic residues may hinder response by increasing the strength of the interaction between the protein and the nitrocellulose surface. A series of subtilisins showed comparable PD mass spectrometric, response despite the fact that they differ considerably in primary sequence. Finally, PD mass spectrometry was used to correct the previously reported mass of a heat-stable protease, a value that we found to be in error by almost 5000 Da.
