【 摘 要 】

Hemocyte types described in the different subtaxa of Myriapoda are presented and characterised.They comprise (1) prohemocytes, (2) plasmatocytes and (3) two different forms of granularhemocytes; these three have been found in all taxa investigated. Spherulocytes and coagulocyteswere only found in some taxa. Adipohemocytes occur quite infrequent, oenocytoids have not beendetected but may be restricted to specific stages of the moulting cycle. Cystocytes described earlierseem to be a preparation artefact. Granular hemocytes are the most frequent hemocytes followed bythe plasmatocytes. In general, Diplopoda have fewer hemocytes than Chilopoda. The differences inthe hematogram and the functions of hemocytes are discussed.
