Abstract
Rohde K. and Garlick P. R. 1985. A multicilite ‘starcell’ in the parenchyma of the larva of Austramphilina elongata (Amphilinidea). International Journal for Parasitology 15: 403–407. The ultrastructure of a new cell type is described. It is located at the posterior end of the penetration glands of larval Austramphilina. Large numbers of cilia of the cell protrude in all directions into adjacent fluidfilled spaces. The cell is rich in mitochondria and has a cavity which is separated from the surrounding tissue spaces by a sheath of cytoplasm and by ribs of cytoplasm with a membrane between them. Leptotriches project from the cell body into the cavity. Possible functions of the cell are discussed.
