Mechanism of ganglionic fusion in Hypsa alciforon (Lepidoptera: Hypsidae) during pupal period.
Wrinkling of neural lamella indicates the beginning of ganglionic fusion and haemocytes and fat cells accumulate on the surface of it. The neural lamella degenerates and a single celled thick supporting layer envelops the ganglion. Degeneration of certain larval neurons and shifting of some of these from the coalescing ganglia have been noted.
