鉴定了参与维持硫磺蝴蝶 C. eurytheme 和 C. philodice 之间生殖隔离的雄性翅膀化合物。雄性C. philodice产生3个正己酯；肉豆蔻酸酯、棕榈酸酯和硬脂酸酯，这些在 C. eurytheme 中不存在。在雄性 C. eurytheme 的翅膀上发现了一种支链烃，即 13-甲基二十烷，但在 C. philodice 上却没有。这两个物种的翅膀上都有几种直链碳氢化合物。酯类和13-甲基二十烷具有显着的电生理活性。初步的行为实验表明，酯类（尤其是肉豆蔻酸正己酯）起到物种识别信号的作用。酯类和 13-甲基二十烷还具有低至中度的催情活性。
Male wing compounds involved in maintaining reproductive isolation between the sulfur butterflies C. eurytheme and C. philodice were identified. Male C. philodice produce 3 n-hexyl esters; myristate, palmitate and stearate, which are absent in C. eurytheme. A branched hydrocarbon, 13-methylheptacosane, is found on the wings of male C. eurytheme, but not C. philodice. Several straight-chain hydrocarbons are on the wings of both species. The esters and 13-methylheptacosane have significant electrophysiological activity. Preliminary behavioral experiments indicate that the esters (especially n-hexyl myristate) function as species-recognition signals. The esters and 13-methylheptacosane also have low-to-moderate aphrodisiac activity.
