description

The presence of neurosecretory cells in the frontal ganglion (FG) has been demonstrated only in the Lepidoptera Bombyx (BOUNHIOL et al., 1953), Manduca (BORG et al., 1973; BELL et al., 1974), and Diatraea (YIN and CHIPPENDALE, 1975). In Manduca and Diatraea the neurosecretory material of the FG is apparently involved in the regulation of diapause.
