Abstract
No comparative morphological studies appear to have been made so far on the mandibular glands and mandibular grooves, although scattered descriptions are available on the insects studied by Heselhaus (1922); Snodgrass (1956); Wheldon (1957a, 1957b); Nedel (1960); Simpson (1960); Barth (1962); Mathewson (1965); Agren (1977); Brough (1977); Buren et al., (1970); Hermann et al., (1971) and Michener & Fraser (1978). The secretions produced by the gland have also been considered as sex attractants (Kullenberg, 1973); inhibitory pheromone (Butler and Simpson, 1958); and alarm/defence pheromone (Brough, 1978) and more so, Tengo (1979) has proved the secretions as species-specific in Andrena bees (Andrenidae).
