Ultrastructure des glandes genales ventrales de Campodea Sensillifera Conde et Mathieu et de C. Kervillei Denis (Diplura)

A striking new genus and species of troglobitic Campodeidae (Diplura) from Central Asia

“…At approximately 15 µm from the base on the lateral external side of the claw, there is a pointed side-shoot process of 12-15 µm length (Figs 17-18). If side-shoots of the claws have a similar function to the function of lateral crests present in several troglobiotic species of Plusiocampa, Cestocampa, Paratachycampa and Juxtlacampa, which are usually regarded as adaptations to subterranean lifestyle (see, for example Conde 1956a; Bareth and Pagés 1994), then they should also be considered derived traits resulting from the long cave evolution. The third interesting feature is the shape of the barbs (about 120 thin barbs 3-18 µm long) on the ventral side of the laminar telotarsal processes, ending mostly in a hook but in a flat extension in the apical barbs (Fig.…”

Ultrastructure, functional morphology and evolution of recto-canal epidermal glands in Myriapoda

These intermediary cells may have be lined apically by a secretion coat and always show an incomplete cuticularization of their portion of the conducting canal.…”

“…The secretory granules of the metameric glands of Mystacocarid (Pochon-Masson et al) are also highly organized. It must be pointed out that there are similar structures in secretory granules of various glands: salivary glands of Limnea stagnalis (Fain-MaureI1969), accessory glands in males of Drosophila (Beau laton et al 1975, Perrin-Waldemer et al 1974, Perotti 1971, genal glands of Campo de a (Bareth et al 1975(Bareth et al ,J uberthie-J upeau et al 1976.…”
