✦ Synopsis

Five types of hemocytes, prohemocytes, typical plasmatocytes, coagulocytes, spherule cells, and oenocytoides, have been defined in the last larval instar of Heliothis armigera on the basis of ultrastructural microscopy, smears, and optical phase-contrast microscopy. Modifications in typical plasmatocytes and coagulocytes have been evidenced in the course of development in this instar, which suggests that these hemocytes are involved in physiological processes of development. Only coagulocytes exhibit endocytotic capacities. Phenoloxidase activity was observed in oenocytoides.

## Abstract We investigated muscle development in two chiton species, __Mopalia muscosa__ and __Chiton olivaceus__, from embryo hatching until 10 days after metamorphosis. The anlagen of the dorsal longitudinal rectus muscle and a larval prototroch muscle ring are the first detectable muscle struct
