Abstract

Hemocytes of Lambdina fiscellaria fiscellaria (Guen.) were examined as suspended cells or as slides from a culot. Five types of hemocytes were identified: prohemocytes, plasmatocytes, granular hemocytes, spherule cells, and oenocytoids. The low numbers of prohemocytes and oenocytoids, the significant decrease in the number of plasmatocytes in last larval stages, and the corresponding increase in granular and spherule cells have been compared with existent literature. Total hemocyte counts were also made.

Résumé

Les auteurs ont étudié les hémocytes de Lambdina fiscellaria fiscellaria (Guen.) maintenus en suspension ou enrobés dans l’épon. Cinq types différents de cellules sanguines ont été décrits. Ce sont les prohémocytes, les plasmatocytes, les hémocytes granulaires, les cellules à sphérules et les oenocytoïdes. La faible importance numérique des prohémocytes et des oenocytoïdes, la baisse significative du nombre des plasmatocytes pendant les derniers stades larvaires ainsi que la hausse correspondante des hémocytes granulaires et des cellules à spherules sont discutées au regard de la littérature. Les comptages hémocytaire totaux ont également été effectués.
