Four hemocyte types have been identified in the late last larval instar of Galleria mellonella. Plasmatocytoids are round to spindle shaped cells, 10-20 μ long and 5-10 μ wide. The cytoplasm contains no distinguishing inclusions. Golgi complexes, rough endoplasmic reticulum and free ribosomes are abundant. Granular hemocytes are oval shaped cells, 10-20 μ long and 5-10 μ wide. The granules, their most characteristic feature, have a diameter of 0.2 μ, a microtubular sub-structure, and are made up of acidic mucosubstances. Lipid droplets may be present in these cells at some stage of development. These cells appear to be phagocytic. Spherule cells are oval shaped, 15-20 μ long and 5-10 μ wide. The spherules, approximately 2 μ in diameter, have a highly ordered substructure and are made up of acidic mucosubstances. Oenocytoids are the largest cells, 20 by 40 μ. The cytoplasm contains mostly free ribosomes and microtubules.
在大蜡螟末龄幼虫期已鉴定出四种血细胞类型。类浆细胞呈圆形至纺锤形，长10 - 20微米，宽5 - 10微米。细胞质中没有明显的内含物。高尔基体、粗面内质网和游离核糖体丰富。颗粒血细胞呈椭圆形，长10 - 20微米，宽5 - 10微米。颗粒是它们最显著的特征，直径为0.2微米，具有微管亚结构，由酸性粘多糖物质组成。在这些细胞发育的某些阶段可能存在脂滴。这些细胞似乎具有吞噬作用。小球细胞呈椭圆形，长15 - 20微米，宽5 - 10微米。小球直径约2微米，具有高度有序的亚结构，由酸性粘多糖物质组成。绛色细胞是最大的细胞，20×40微米。细胞质主要包含游离核糖体和微管。
