Abstract

The glucosides so far identified in the left colleterial glands of four mantid species are 3-O-β- glucosides of N- acyldopamines , the acyl groups being acetyl, malonyl and N- acetyl-β- alanyl (Kawasaki and Yago, 1983, Insect Biochem. 13, 267-271; Yago et al., 1984, ibid. 14, 7–9). The gland of another mantid species, Hierodula patellifera, was found to contain as many as five glucosides, the three mentioned above and additional two that have been identified as 3-O-β- glucosides of N-β- alanyldopamine and N-(N- malonyl-β- alanyl)dopamine .
