Nasutitermes nigriceps

Isomeric cis-verbenol is an aggregation pheromone attractant for both the male and female insects of the species. The same author [105] published information concerning a defense secretion of the soldiers of the termites Nasutitermes nigriceps, N. Ephratae and Velocitermes velox from Peru). The enantiomeric compositions of a -pinene and limonene produced by three termite species are as follows ... 

Four species of Nasutitermes soldiers, N, columbicus, corniger, eph-rates and nigriceps from Costa Rica and Panama, can be distinguished by means of their chemical defense secretions 543), The authors of the study suggested that climate had an influence on the chemical composition of secretions from two Pacific Coast populations of N, corniger and postulated that the Atlantic Coast population of the species derived from a Pacific Coast population.
