Colouring matters of the Aphidoidea. XLI. The phospholipids of Eriosoma lanigerum (Hemiptera : Insecta)

Abstract

Whereas triglycerides of the woolly aphid E. lanigerum are rich in myristate and sorbate residues, the phospholipids contain chiefly oleate, linoleate and stearate. In agreement with other aphid work, there is significantly more phosphatidyl ethanolamine than phosphatidyl choline.
