In figure 99 and again in figure 100 the element x is joined to the spireme as it is throughout the spireme stage. |
It is closely applied to the nuclear membrane and is connected with an end of the spireme. |
As in most of the other species of Coleoptera, the unequal pair is not distinguishable until the spireme stage. |
In figure 107 one sees the spireme divided into segments still joined by linin bridges. |
This body is often applied to the nuclear membrane and connected with the spireme. |
At first it is quite small, and it gradually increases in size during the spireme stage. |
