Abstract：
:Phalloidin staining F-actin was used to image muscle fiber arrangements present in the reproductive system of the adult female Rhodnius prolixus. A mesh of muscle fibers encircles the ovaries whereas a criss-cross pattern of finer muscle fibers covers each ovariole. Two layers of muscle fibers (arranged longitudinally and circularly) form the lateral oviducts. The circular layer of muscle fibers extends throughout the common oviduct and spermathecae. A chevron pattern of thicker muscle fibers makes up the bursa. All of these structures show spontaneous contractions that are stimulated in a dose-dependent manner by the endogenous peptides, GNDNFMRFamide and AKDNFIRFamide which belong to the family of the FMRFamide-like peptides (FLP). Immunohistochemistry shows that these peptides could be supplied via nerves to the oviducts, spermathecae and bursa. Although no FMRF-like immunoreactivity was observed on the ovarioles/ovary they still exhibited a stimulatory response to the peptides indicating that they may be under the influence of FLPs as neurohormones. This work implicates FLPs in the control of ovulation, egg movement and oviposition in this insect.
