“…In some polyneopteran insects, a specialized serosa and/or serosal cuticle, similar to the plecopteran thickened serosa and serosal cuticle have been reported for Orthoptera (Slifer, 1938;Matthée, 1951;Slifer and Sekhon, 1963), Grylloblattodea (Uchifune and Machida, 2005), Embioptera (Jintsu and Machida, 2009), and Phasmatodea (Jintsu et al, 2010). Slifer (1938) and Slifer and Sekhon (1963) previously conducted experimental embryological studies, combined with TEM, using the grasshopper Melanoplus differentialis.…”
