Description

A peculiar structure (a few μm in length and width) composed of tubular materials 60 mm in diameter was found in giant glial cells and perineurium cells of the brain of Pieris rapae crucivora. It was observable at any stage from last larval instar to pupa and often seen in the giant glial cell process around the neurosecretory cells in the medial, lateral and other parts of the brain. Possible role of this structure as a photoperiodic receptor was discussed.
