Not all dytiscidae have poorly developed mushroom bodies: The enigma of Cybister lateralimarginalis

Entomological Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The majority of diving beetles studied has completely differentiated but poorly developed mushroom bodies. The Kenyon cells are not numerous, the calyces are small, and the pedunculi and lobes have a simple structure. New Kenyon cells are produced by few solitary neuroblasts. Cybister lateralimarginalis makes an amazing exception. Its mushroom bodies are strongly developed and comprise numerous Kenyon cells, large calyces, and a peduncular apparatus of a complicated structure. The Kenyon cells are produced in polyneuroblast proliferative centers. The grounds of such strong development of the mushroom body in Cybister remain unknown.
