摘要: In lizards, the epidermal glands of femoral and precloacal regions are involved in production semiochemicals. addition to its glands, giant girdled lizard, or sungazer, Cordylus giganteus, which is endemic South Africa, has generation as an additional potential source These described glandular scales that overlay included normal profile located (thigh) anterior antebrachial (fore-leg) male sungazer. GC-MS analysis gland secretions trimethylsilyl derivatives some steroidal constituents was employed identify 59 constituents, including alkenes, carboxylic acids, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters, amides, nitriles, steroids. The quantitative differences volatile fore- hind-leg were compared between individuals. This first report on chemical composition material lizards.
