Summary
The fusion of both myoblasts and ‘Muskelanlagezellen’ during development of the dorsolongitudinal muscles inAntheraea polyphemus (Lep.) is shown at the ultrastructural level. Several cytoplasmic bridges are formed simultaneously between the two cells. It is supposed that the effect of breakdown of both myoblast membrane and sarcolemma originates from the myoblast.
