Histochemical studies of Rhinocricus padbergi Verhoeff ovaries (Diplopoda, Spirobolida, Rhinocricidae)

Abstract

Histochemical studies of Rhinocricus padbergi Verhoeff ovaries demonstrated that the oocytes contained lipids, proteins and polysaccharides. The probable synthesis site of each is considered, and the origin and function of the Ca found is discussed.
