The major proteinase activities in the larval midgut of a common poplar tree borer, Anoplophora glabripennis, were characterised. Overall digestive capacity, as measured by casein hydrolysis, showed a p H optimum between 10 and 11.5, suggestive of serine endopeptidase activity. Trypsin, chymotrypsin
Two classes of vitellogenin binding sites with Kd-values of 7.3 n M and 290 n M were observed in follicle-membrane preparations of the cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea using a membrane-binding assay at pH 8.

## Abstract Males of the cockroach, __Nauphoeta cinerea__ (Olivier), possess a thickened secretory epithelium limited to the inner surfaces of sternites three to seven and tergites two to eight. The epithelium consists of three cell types: 1. large columnar secretory cells, 2. squamous nonsecretory
