Abstract:
Bacteriome in the lantern bug Pyrops candelaria harbored a-, t-, and companion bacteroids. The a- and t-bacteroids were irregular bodies, whereas the companion bacteroids were rod-shaped and easily distinguished from the others. The a- and t-bacteroids were enveloped by three membranes and the companion bacteroids, by two membranes. The cytoplasm of the a-bacteroid contained electron-dense bodies.
