“…The immunoreactive cells in the pars lateralis found in R. maderae are clearly homologs of corazonin‐expressing lateral neurosecretory cells described in Allonemobius allardi, Apis mellifera, Athalia rosae, Arge nigrinodosa, Blattela germanica, Blatta bisignata, Bombyx mori, Ctenolepsima lineate, Dianemobius nigrofasciatus, Ephestia kuehniella, Galleria mellonella, Locusta migratoria, Manduca sexta, Oxya yezoensis, P. americana, Plodia interpunctella, Pyrrhocoris apterus , and Schistocerca gregaria as well as in the flies D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. errecta, Phormia terraenovae , and Protophormia terraenovae (Cantera et al, ; Schoofs et al, ; Hansen et al, ; Roller et al, ; Hamanaka et al, ; Choi et al, ; Sehadova et al, ; Wen and Lee, ; Zavodska et al, ). Results from highly sensitive ELISA experiments in combination with an HPLC approach in P. americana as well as in situ hybridizations in G. mellonella, D. melanogaster, D. simulans , and D. virils confirmed that these cells express authentic corazonin (Veenstra and Davis, ; Hansen et al, ; Choi et al, ).…”
