1. 1. Hydrocarbons of the bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus Say constitute 22 and 3.7% of outer and inner lipids of insects, respectively. 2. 2. There were n- alkanes , monomethylalkanes, dimethylalkanes and trimethylalkanes. The major components were 9,13-dimethylheptacosane, n- heptacosane , 3-methylheptacosane and 9- and 11-methylheptacosane. 3. 3.
