Abstract: This study deals with the morphology and cytology of the sex pheromone glands of Illiberis pruni using the methods of scanning electronmicroscope(SEM)and transmission electronmicroscope(TEM).Results showed that the female sex pheromone glands consist of two parts:(1)The special scales of the wings.The scales which are situated in the edge of the wings branch deeply.(2)The epidermal glands of the abdominal epidermis.The epidermal glands which are mainly situated in the epidermal cells layer of the tergums and sternums from the 3rd to 6th abdominal segments are isolated glandular units,each of which is composed of a gland cell and intercalary cells.

Key words: Illiberis pruni, Sex pheromone glands, Fine structure
