In Rhodnius prolixus, after the imaginal molt, the intersegmental muscles completely lose their contractile material, and are transformed into thin strands containing nuclei. It is possible that these muscular strands are finally pinched off as mononucleated myoblasts. These residual muscles apparently maintain a normal innervation--which persists to the end of the imago's life. Moreover, they appear to show some aspects of synthetic activity after the adult has been fed: in this case, there is a growth of the 'rough endoplasmic reticulum' and elaboration of specialized fibrous inclusions.
在长红猎蝽中，成虫蜕皮后，节间肌完全失去其收缩物质，并转化为含有细胞核的细索。这些肌索最终有可能作为单核成肌细胞被分离出来。这些残留的肌肉显然保持着正常的神经支配——这种神经支配一直持续到成虫生命结束。此外，在成虫进食后，它们似乎表现出一些合成活动的迹象：在这种情况下，“粗面内质网”会生长，并且会形成特殊的纤维状内含物。
