Abstract
The phospholipids of Tenebrio molitor larvae have been examined by chromatography on columns of DEAE-cellulose and silicic acid-Hyflo Super Cel. The major constituents consist of choline and ethanolamine phospholipids. Inositol phosphatides represented a relatively small portion of the total phospholipids. Phosphatidyl serine and lysolecithin compounds were not detected. A choline sphingolipid was demonstrated to be present, and only ethanolamine phosphatides were detected in the plasmalogen form. The overall phospholipid pattern was qualitatively similar to other insects.
