Abstract

Adoption of the term “tonofibrillary platelets” for the small, sclerotized areas of muscle attachment on the cuticle of Lepidoptera larvae is advocated and a simplified system of abbreviations for the names proposed by Mutuura (1980) for these areas is suggested.

Résumé

L’adoption du terme “plaquettes tonofibrillaires” (tonofibrillary platelets) pour les petites parties sclérifiées sur lesquelles s’insèrent les muscles des larves de lépidoptères est préconisé, et un ensemble d’abréviations des noms proposés par Mutuura (1980) pour ces régions est suggéré.
