Abstract: The location and structure of sex-pheromone-producing gland in female M. rectifascia Lajonquё rew?ere studied by means of scannig electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The?study showed that the pheromone-producing gland is a modified intersegmental membrane as a eversible ring of?glandular epithelium between the 8th and 9th abdominal segments,the gland cell is columnar,the cuticle has two?layer:epicuticle and endocuticle,microvilli are distributed on the cytoplasmic membrane and linked with endocuti?cle,the cell contains vacuole,mitochondrion,lipid granule and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Key words: Malacosoma rectifascia Lajonquère, Sex-pheromone-producing gland, Histology
