Abstract
Observations on the effect of an aggregation pheromone of Dermestes maculatus indicate the production and liberation with faeces of two different compounds of a primer type. One is produced by larvae themselves and accelerates growth, the other is produced by adults and inhibits larval development. Both larval and adult pheromones synchronize larval ecdyses.Keywords
