Abstract
MATURE adult female Schistocerca gregaria contain large amounts of neurosecretory material in the corpora cardiaca, the nervi corporis cardiaci I and the neurosecretory cells of the pars intercerebralis of the protocerebrum1. The neurosecretory systems of 2-week-old females, reared without males, similarly contain large amounts of stainable material ; in these females, the terminal oocytes are largely undeveloped.
