Abstract
We had occasion recently to study 3 live specimens of Pseudozaena
orientalis opaca, an ozaenine carabid beetle (subfamily Paussinae,
tribe Ozaenini) from New Guinea, and report here on the
biology and chemistry of its defensive spray mechanism. A number
of New World ozaenines had previously been studied chemically
and shown to be “bombardiers” that discharge a hot quinonoid
mixture (Aneshansley et al. 1969, 1983; Eisner and Aneshansley
1982; Eisner et al. 1977; Roach et al. 1979). Pseudozaena proved no
exception.
