Structural investigations on the sex pheromones of male butterflies have yielded several unique insect exocrine products. The major components in the hair pencils of the danaid Lycorea ceres ceres are cetyl acetate, (Z)-vaccenyl acetate, and 2,3-dihydro-7-methyl pyrrolizin-l-one (XXIV) (103) The dihydropyrrol izi none, as well as ( , )-3,7-dimethyldeca-2,6-dien-l,10-diol, have been identified from the hair pencils of the queen butterfly, Danaus gilippus (104), and the former compound possesses pheromonal activity when evaluated electrophysiologically (105) and behaviorally (106). The hair pencils of the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, have yielded ( ,E)-10-hydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-deca dienoic acid (107) and (E,15)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-decadien-l,10-dioic acid (108). On the other hand, the Old World monarch, Danaus chrysippus, contains (E)-3,7-dimethyloct-2-en-l,8-diol as well as the pyrrolizinone (XXIV) (109). Recently,...

There may be an unexpected side benefit arising from possession of toxins in the body. D. Smith (1978a) has found that larvae of Danaus chrysippus, an African relative of the monarch, are less susceptible to attack by endoparasitic Diptera if they have fed on cardiac glycoside-containing plants. 

Marsh et al. (1977) have investigated the relationship, usually considered Batesian mimicry, between the butterflies Hypolimnas bolina (mimic) and Euploea core (model). They found that both species stored cardioactive substances, depending upon the food plant, but that the activity was less than the well-known poisonous African butterfly, Danaus chrysippus, which in turn is...
