| 1. |
The early larva has a bilobed brain and a suboesophageal ganglion in the head; 1 ganglion in each thoracic and 8 ganglia in abdominal segments.
|
| 2. |
The brain of mature larva shows differentiation of proto-, deuto-, and tritocerebrum internally but not externally.
|
| 3. |
In the early pupal period the 3 optic lobes differentiate and forward migration of the suboesophageal ganglion and the 1st and 2nd abdominal ganglia and backward movement of 6th abdominal ganglion are noted.
|
| 4. |
In the fully formed pupa the suboesophageal ganglion lies very close to the brain. The mesothoracic, 1st abdominal and 2nd abdominal ganglia fuse with the metathoracic to form a thoracoabdominal ganglionic mass.
|
| 5. |
Optic lobes and epidermal eye primordia contribute in the formation of the compound eyes.
|
| 6. |
The 7th abdominal ganglion fuses with the terminal ganglion and the 6th abdominal ganglion of the larva (4th abdominal of adult) comes very close to the terminal ganglion (Fig. 1).
|
| 7. |
Partial degeneration of neurilemma and neural lamella and thickening of the connective tissue sheath covering the nerve cord is noted during the pupal period.
|
| 8. |
Enlargement of larval nerve cells is noted during the pupal period, but cell division is not seen.
|
| 9. |
In late pupa the ocellar lobes develop on the anterolateral sides of the central body; deutocerebrum becomes differentiated with an outer cortex and inner medulla.
|
| 10. |
Ellipsoid body appears on the posterior part of the central body. Corpora pedunculata become enormously developed with a large inner root placed posteriorly to the central body and gradually the brain assumes the adult form.
