Several auditory interneurons have been identified in the brain as well as in the
prothoracic ganglion which are thought to play a role in controlling phonotaxis.
Side of pronotum polished dark-brown to black; light ventro-lateral patch tapers forward to end on
prothoracic episternum.
Adhesion of hemocytes to desialylated
prothoracic glands of Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera) in the larval stage.
An ecdysteroid biosynthesized and released in
prothoracic gland was unambiguously determined as ecdysone by the application of GC-MS analysis developed by us.
villiger consist of a pair of abdominal glands and without
prothoracic glands.
Fungal symbionts in the
prothoracic mycangium of Dendroctanus frontalis (Coleopt.: Scolytidae).
Changes in general and specific protein synthesis that accompany ecdysteroid synthesis in stimulated
prothoracic glands of Manduca sexta.
The
prothoracic tergite bore a series of hair-like sensilla, originating near the dorsum, extending ventrally to near the anterior margin, and continuing along lateral and posterior margins.
Dasylophia anguina (Family Notodontidae) exhibits warning colors and throws its head back to spray acid from a
prothoracic gland.
Additional traits are area of the male anal plate, area of the posterior lobe, and length of the
prothoracic tibia.
Prothoracic spatula: length, 0.3 mm, 6 teeth anteriorly, middle tooth larger than lateral teeth; group of 3 lateral papillae on each side of spatula, 1 papilla with setae, 2 bare.
