Cuticular Hydrocarbons of the Australian Plague Locust, Chortoicetes terminifera (Walker) (Orthoptera: Acrididae), Collected from Widely Separated Geographical Locations

Abstract

Cuticular hydrocarbon profiles were obtained for adult Chortoicetes terminifera collected from Bimerah in Queensland, Hillston and Boorowa in New South Wales, and Moora in Western Australia. No significant differences were found between male and female locusts from Bimerah, nor between males from any of the four different geographical locations.
