An ultrastructural study of hemocytes from 9 different insect orders has led to the identification of 8 cell types: (1) Plasmatocytes, whose cytoplasm is filled with small dense lysosomes and large heterogeneous structures, are phagocytic cells. (2) Granulocytes, filled with uniformly electron dense granules, are involved in capsule formation. (3) Coagulocytes, which contain granules and structured globules and which possess a well developed RER, are involved in phagocytosis. (4) Spherule cells are filled with large spherical inclusions. (5) Oenocytoids are large cells with few cytoplasmic organelles. These 5 hemocyte types represent the majority of insect blood cells. (6) Prohemocytes, blastic cells which are one of the stem cells a hemocytes, are very few in number in each species investigated. (7) Thrombocytoids and (8) Prodocytes are restricted to a small number of insect species. The ultrastructural characteristics of these hemocyte types are discussed.
对9个不同昆虫目的血细胞进行的超微结构研究已鉴定出8种细胞类型：(1) 浆血细胞，其细胞质充满小的致密溶酶体和大的异质结构，是吞噬细胞。(2) 颗粒血细胞，充满均匀电子致密颗粒，参与包囊形成。(3) 凝血细胞，含有颗粒和结构化小球且具有发达的粗面内质网，参与吞噬作用。(4) 球形体细胞充满大的球形内含物。(5) 拟绛色细胞是具有少量细胞质细胞器的大细胞。这5种血细胞类型占昆虫血细胞的大多数。(6) 原血细胞，作为血细胞干细胞之一的母细胞，在所研究的每个物种中数量都很少。(7) 类血小板和(8) 前足细胞仅限于少数昆虫物种。讨论了这些血细胞类型的超微结构特征。
