Abstract
Morphological, histological and histochemical investigations of the cephalic glands of Slevin's ground gecko, Stenodactylus slevini Hass 1957 have been conducted. Infralabial, sublingual, lingual, palatine and Harderian glands were detected in S. slevini, but supralabial, Gabe and salt glands are absent. Serous cells were found in the infralabial and sublingual glands, seromucous cells in the sublingual and palatine glands, mucoserous cells in the Harderian glands and mucous cells in the lingual ones. Proteins were detected mainly in the infralabial, palatine and in the deeper parts of the sublingual glands. Neural mucosubstances were found in the lingual, superficial sublingual, palatine and Harderian glands; carboxylated mucosubstances in the lingual, sublingual and Harderian glands while sulphated mucosubstances occurred only in the lingual glands.
