Male abdominal exocrine glands of Dermestes ater were examined under light and scanning electron microscopy, and their extracts were chemically analysed by GC and GC/MS. Light microscopy of serial sections of the abdomen showed a simple alveolus gland comprised of hundreds of secretion cells, which was linked to the pore opening in the anterior part of hair bundle on the sternite. These characteristics were quite similar to those of D. maculatus, whose gland has been reported to emit an aggregation pheromone. The gland contained esters of carboxylic acids with 12 to 16 carbon atoms as the main components, a major part of which(90.1%) were isopropyl esters including 65.9% isopropyl laurate.
