Ultrastructure of the larval Malpighian tubules in Terrobittacus implicatus (Mecoptera: Bittacidae).

Abstract:

:The larvae of Bittacidae, a cosmopolitan family in Mecoptera, have an interesting habit of spraying the body surface with soil through the anus after hatching, and each molts. The fine structure of Malpighian tubules, however, remains largely unknown in the larvae of Bittacidae to date. Here, we studied the ultrastructure of the larval Malpighian tubules in the hangingfly Terrobittacus implicatus (Huang & Hua) using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The larvae of T. implicatus have six elongate Malpighian tubules at the junction of the midgut and hindgut. The tubule comprises a basal lamina, a single-layered epithelium, and a central lumen. The basal plasma membranes of the epithelial cells are conspicuously infolded and generate a labyrinth. The epithelium consists of two types of cells: large principal cells and scattered stellate cells. Mitochondria and cisterns of rough endoplasmic reticulum are numerous in the principal cells but are sparsely distributed in the stellate cells, indicating that the principal cells are active in transport. On the other hand, spherites are only abundant in the principal cells and are likely associated with the soil-spraying habit of the larvae.
