Abstract
An electron microscopic study of the desmosomes of Pelmatohydra oligactis and the silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) demonstrates that these two species of invertebrates have two different kinds of desmosomes. The term “septate desmosome” is applicable only in the case of the Pelmatohydra desmosomes, while a new term, “comb desmosome” (Danilova, 1968a, b), is suggested for the insect type. Differences in the structure of these two desmosome varieties can be detected only in tangential sections.
