    Notes: Abstract Flucycloxuron, a novel benzoylphenylurea (BPU) derivative, exhibited insecticidal activity when injected into newly ecdysed pupae ofTenebrio molitor. Mortality occurs because of defective adult ecdysis. Treatment caused a reduction in both cuticle thickness and incorporation of14C-labelled precursor into chitin, although it had no significant effect on the protein synthesis. The potencies of other BPU compounds as inhibitors of chitin biosynthesis have been examined and results showed that diflubenzuron was less effective than either flucycloxuron or triflumuron.

    Notes: Summary Bursicon active hemolymph ofTenebrio, injected into host pupae deprived in bursicon, induces a 2-fold increase of cyclic AMP in the epidermis of the hosts 5 min after the injection. No increase is observed by injecting bursicon inactive hemolymph or insect Ringer. From these experiments it can be concluded that cyclic AMP is a second messenger of bursicon.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La réaction positive de la chitine à l'APS nécessite l'oxydation des radicaux hydroxy-acétyl-amino des unités d'N-acétylglucosamine par l'acide periodique. L'étude de l'oxydation périodique de dérivés N-acylés d'acides hydroxyaminés et de différents sucres montre que ce radical n'est pas attaqué dans les conditions de l'APS. La chitine sous forme de poly-N-acétylglucosamine doit donc être considérée comme APS-négative. Le cas des structures APS+ contenant de la chitine est discuté.
    Notes: Summary The PAS-positive reaction of chitin requires periodic oxidation of hydroxyacetyl-amino groups of N-acetyl-glucosamine units. Periodic oxidation of N-acyl-hydroxyamino acids and of different sugars shows that hydroxy-acetyl-amino groups are not clived under PAS conditions. Thus, chitin, considered as poly-N-acetylglucosamine, is PAS-negative. The PAS reaction of different chitinous structures (especially insect cuticles) is studied. When it is not linked to protein or only weakly, chitin is PAS-positive. Acetylation and deacetylation tests and oxidation with sodium bismuthate suggest that the positive reaction is due to hydroxy-amino groups of glucosamine residues included in the poly-N-acetylglucosamine chain. In stabilized insect cuticles, chitin is linked to form a glycoprotein and reacting groups are masked: PAS reaction is negative. Generally, hot dilute alkali is used to remove the protein fraction. But the Tables 1 and 2 show that chitin undergoes deacetylation and becomes PAS-positive if purification by alcali is too long or concentration too high. It appears that KOH N 24 h at 100° C does not cause deacetylation, and removes enough protein to unmask reacting groups. After such treatment, hard sclerotized cuticles remain PAS-negative, and endocuticles become PAS-positive. The groups responsible for PAS reaction are identified as hydroxy-amino groups by complementary tests. These results confirm that chitin may contain glucosamine, and suggest that during the stabilization process the hydroxy-amino groups are blocked by strong protein or water linkage, or simply acetylated. These two hypothesis are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les modifications cytologiques des cellules épidermiques sécrétant la cuticule sternale et pleurale de l'adulte deT. molitor sont étudiées pendant la formation et l'évolution de l'épicuticule externe et interne. L'épicuticule externe et interne sont sécrétées de la même façon par condensation de matériel diffus au-dessus de l'apex des microvillosités. Un cycle hétérolytique est mis en évidence par l'emploi de peroxydase injectée dans l'espace exuvial: la peroxydase est captée par de grosses vésicules revêtues et incorporée dans des corps multivésiculaires apicaux. Par comptage des différentes populations de vésicules, des variations nettes dans l'intensité de la pinocytose sont mises en évidence. Ces variations semblent en rapport non pas avec la digestion de l'ancienne cuticule mais avec les différences de nature et de structure des composants cuticulaires. L'hypothèse du contrôle de la sécrétion épidermique par les phénomènes de pinocytose énoncée par Locke (1969) est confirmée. Des vésicules d'origine golgiennes sont secrétées surtout après la formation de l'épicuticule et ne sont donc pas à l'origine du matériel épicuticulaire, mais il est possible qu'elles jouent un rôle dans l'évolution ultérieure des structures épicuticulaires.
    Notes: Summary The cytological modifications of the epidermal cells secreting sternal and pleural cuticle of adultTenebrio are studied, specially during the formation and evolution of the outer and inner epicuticle. Both layers are secreted by condensation of diffuse material just above the epidermal microvilli. There is no peculiar phase without microvilli when inner epicuticle is formed. During the secretion of pre-ecdysial cuticle, the epidermal cell is characterized by an heterolytic process which is demonstrated by peroxidase injection into the ecdysial space: horseradish peroxidase is absorbed by large pinocytic coated vesicles which discharge their content into multivesicular bodies, after the loss of their coat. The intensity of pinocytosis is studied by vesicles counts at different stages of the pupal life. These counts show a pinocytic peak when the inner epicuticle is formed. When the epicuticular barrier is completely secreted, exogenous peroxidase is no more absorbed, but morphological study and counts show that pinocytosis still occurs. This demonstrates that epidermis cannot absorb macromolecules arising from the digested old cuticle since digestion occurs after the completion of adult epicuticle. Locke's hypothesis about the “control of the extracellular subcuticular environment” by pinocytosis is confirmed. The Golgi complexes are involved in lytic process with their small coated vesicles and in secretion of cuticular material with their large dense secretory vesicles, but according to vesicle counts, the secretory vesicles are not concerned in epicuticle formation since their apparition is posterior to the deposition of the inner epicuticle.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resumé La formation de la membrane exuviale chez la nymphe de Tenebrio molitor est étudiée à l'aide de techniques histochimiques et au microscope électronique. Dès les premières heures de la vie nymphale, l'épiderme sécrète, en même temps que les lamelles d'endocuticule post-exuviale, un matériel de stabilisation de nature lipoprotéique. Ce matériel se dépose sur la sous-cuticule et sur une partie de la dernière lamelle d'endocuticule formée. Après le décollement de l'ancienne cuticule, le matériel de stabilisation se condense sur la trame chitineuse de la sous-cuticule pour former une membrane exuviale résistante au liquide de mue. La réaction de la sous-cuticule et de la membrane exuviale aux différents tests histochimiques, en particulier à l'APS, est discutée.
    Notes: Summary The formation of the ecdysial membrane during the pupal life of Tenebrio molitor is studied by histochemical and electron microscopical techniques. During the first hours of the pupal life, the epidermis secretes a lipoprotein complex which contains sterols. The term stabilizing material is applied to this secretion. The stabilizing material is added to the subcuticle and to a part of the last endocuticular lamella. After epidermis retraction, this material is condensed on the chitin framework of the subcuticle to form an ecdysial membrane resistant to the moulting fluid. The reaction of the subcuticle and ecdysial membrane to different histochemical tests (especially to the PAS-test), is discussed.
