Well-defined pheromone-producing glands are present on the third and fourth abdominal segments of male Lutzomyia longipalpis. Each gland consists of numerous large secretory cells. The individual cells have a complicated 'end-apparatus' and central reservoir which are connected directly to the exterior via a small chitinized duct. This is the first ultrastructural study of pheromone secreting cells of Diptera.
在雄性长须罗蛉的腹部第三和第四体节上存在明确的信息素分泌腺。每个腺体由许多大的分泌细胞组成。单个细胞具有复杂的“终末装置”和中央储存库，它们通过一条小的几丁质化导管直接与外部相连。这是双翅目信息素分泌细胞的首次超微结构研究。
