title: Identification of the octapeptide lophyrotomin in the European birch sawfly (Arge pullata).
abstract: Larvae of the European birch sawfly Arge pullata were shown to contain lophyrotomin, an octapeptide liver toxin containing four D-amino acids. Lophyrotomin was previously isolated from Lophyrotoma interrupta sawfly larvae in Australia.
