Bacteriome in the lantern bug Pyrops candelaria harbored a-, t-, and companion bacteroids. The a- and t-bacteroids were irregular bodies, whereas the companion bacteroids were rod-shaped and easily distinguished from the others. The a- and t-bacteroids were enveloped by three membranes and the companion bacteroids, by two membranes. The cytoplasm of the a-bacteroid contained electron-dense bodies.
龙眼鸡（Pyrops candelaria）的菌胞体中含有α-、t-和伴胞类菌体。α-和t-类菌体为不规则体，而伴胞类菌体呈杆状，易于与其他类菌体区分。α-和t-类菌体被三层膜包裹，伴胞类菌体被两层膜包裹。α-类菌体的细胞质中含有电子致密体。
