长刺蚁Oecophylla longinoda（Latreille）和长刺蚁O. smaragdina（F.）对主要工蜂极具吸引力;头部的刺激，显然是化学性质的，诱导工蜂频繁产卵和产卵。蚁后抑制主要工蜂产卵，但不抑制营养蛋;这种效果显然是由信息素介导的，并在蚁后的尸体中持续长达6个月。在蚁后的腹部发现了一个新的节间腺系统。前咽腺、后咽腺、上颌腺和下颌腺发育良好。这些头部器官可能与腹部节间腺一起作为引诱剂和控制物质的来源。
The queens of the formicines Oecophylla longinoda (Latreille) and O. smaragdina (F.) are extremely attractive to major workers; stimuli from the head, apparently chemical in nature, induce the workers to regurgitate and present trophic eggs at frequent intervals. The queens suppress the laying of viable eggs but not trophic eggs by the major workers; the effect is evidently mediated by pheromones and persists in the corpses of the queens for as long as 6 months. A new system of intersegmental glands has been discovered in the abdomen of the queen. The propharyngeal, postpharyngeal, maxillary, and mandibular glands are well developed. These cephalic organs may serve in conjunction with the abdominal intersegmental glands as the source of the attractants and control substances.
