All-trans-geranylcitronellol was found to be the main component in the secretion from the form lapponicus, whereas a hexadecanyl acetate was found to be the dominant component of the other form, scandinavicus. In addition to these compounds, B. lapponicus lapponicus contained hexadecanol and eicosyl acetate while B. lapponicus scandinavicus contained hexadecyl acetate and hexadecanol. Both forms also possess aliphatic, normal chain hydrocarbons: heneicosane, tricosane and pentacosane. The two forms differ characteristically also in their colour morphology. We have found that there is a very good correlation between the composition of the marking secretion and the distribution of black and yellow hairs on the scutellum and on the first abdominal tergite.
