Abstract
A vital chemical communication can be observed in the Tunesian desert isopod Hemilepistus reaumuri. These crustaceans live in social units which are strictly closed to alien conspecifics. It was attempted to analyze the highly evolved family-specific recognition system by identifying their pheromonal compounds both from the extracts of surface washings of intact animals and from the exuvia.Keywords
