经鉴定，四裂弓背蚁头部和/或胸部的主要挥发性化合物为E-2-乙基-2-己烯-1-醇（1）、蜂蜜素（4）和4-羟基蜂蜜素（5）。1和5以前都没有在昆虫中检测到。还鉴别出少量间甲酚（2）和6-甲基水杨酸（3）。E-2-乙基己烯醛（6）和少量的3被确定在头Camponotus irritibilis从瓜拉Belalong，文莱。化合物2-4存在于其他婆罗洲的下颌腺肥大的camponotines中，化合物4在部落中广泛分布。这些下颌腺化合物的化学信息素吝啬（多功能）的可能性进行审查的背景下，现有的数据下颌腺产品的其他camponotines，报道的化合物的生物活性，和继发性损失的metapolytic腺体在这蚂蚁组。
E-2-ethyl-2-hexen-1-ol (1), mellein (4), and 4-hydroxymellein (5) were identified as the major volatile compounds in the head and/or thorax of Camponotus quadrisectus. Neither 1 nor 5 have been previously detected in insects. Also identified were small amounts of m-cresol (2) and 6-methyl salicylic acid (3). E-2-ethylhexenal (6) and small amounts of 3 were identified in heads of Camponotus irritibilis from Kuala Belalong, Brunei. Compounds 2-4 occur in other Bornean camponotines with hypertrophied mandibular glands, and 4 is widespread in the tribe. The possibility of semiochemical parsimony (multiple functions) for these mandibular gland compounds is reviewed in the context of existing data on mandibular gland products of other camponotines, reported biological activities of the compounds, and secondary loss of metapleural glands in this ant group.
