On the morphology of the male, female and fourth-stage larva (female) of Hammerschmidtiella diesingi (Hammerschmidt), a nematode parasitic in cockroaches
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
The male, female and fourth-stage larva (female) of Hammerschmidtiella diesingi are described. Characters are given by which this species can be identified from the female fourth-stage larva.
A constriction and ring of clear cells separate the intestine of the male and of the female fourth-stage larva into two parts, and descriptions of the structure and mode of action of this ‘sphincter’ are given.
