Summary
JH I and JH III immunoreactive substances were detected in the hemolymph of imaginal females of the primitive insectThermobia domestica. Periodic changes in the levels of these hormones were investigated in correlation with molting and reproductive cycles in inseminated, virgin and precocene-treated females. The presumed influence of JH III on the various phases of vitellogenesis is discussed, also taking into account the periodic changes of the hemolymphatic ecdysteroid levels.
