Some related species were included in this study, such as the Tribolium brevicornis and Tenebrio molitor, as well Spodoptera frugiperda, Spodoptera littoralis, Mamestra brassicae and Lacanobia oleracea. The AKH peptide of T. brevicornis is identical to that of T. molitor but not to the ones of its close relative T. castaneum. Moreover, other peptides in T. brevicornis, such as various pyrokinins, also match the complement in T. molitor but differ from those in T. castaneum. The moths had the nonapeptide Manse-AKH. All other moths expressed the decapeptide Helze-HrTH. In M. brassicae and L. oleracea a novel amidated Gly-extended Manse-AKH was found. The noctuid moth species also all express the same corazonin, and a group-specific isoform of a gamma-PGN-(=gamma-SGNP) peptide.
