Abstract
A study of the synthesis of male accessory gland material in the stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae), revealed that the structure of these cells and therefore the mode of release of their product is unlike that previously reported for male accessory glands of insects, including other calypterate flies. The product of these cells is released into urn-shaped, villar-lined canaliculi that extend the length of each cell, instead of being secreted directly into the intimal-lined lumen of the accessory duct.
