Abstract
A detailed light and electron microscopic study of the Brindley's glands of adult Rhodnius prolixus has confirmed the presence of type B glandular units similar to those described for the dermal glands of Rhodnius and has identified the second type A glandular unit, also composed of secretory apparatus, saccule, and duct, but outnumbered approximately 18:1 by the type B units. Similarities and differences between type A and type B glandular units are described and the possible functional significance of the two types of unit is discussed.
