title: [Preliminary ultrastructural observations on the venom glands of Asilides (Diptera-Brachycera)].
abstract: The venom gland epithelium of the Asilidae is apparently made up of two types of cells which are differentiated by the structure of some components. The two types of cells exhibit an extensive protein synthesis and the secretory process seems to be apocrine. The significance of these two types of cell is discussed.
