Abstract
Parkin (1942) reported the occurrence of pired epidermal structures containing fungal strands on the larvae of Sirex gigas (L.) and S. cyaneus (F.). He described the structures as “concealed in the deep fold between the first and second abdominal segments, and formed by local modifications of the cuticle and hypodermis on the posterior sides of the hypopleural folds of the first abdominal segments”. He referred to them as “hypopleural organs”.
