Species representing three rotifer genera have been investigated with special emphasis on elucidating the detailed fine structure relationships of integumental derivatives. The classical concept of cuticulization in these animals must be modified to incorporate the finding that a genuine extracellular cuticle is lacking in a species thought to be very heavily cuticulized (loricate) namely, Keratella cochlearis. A consistent intracellular structural entity located just beneath the hypodermal plasma membrane is thought to represent the bulk of the reinforcing or exoskeletal material observed in all rotifers thus far examined. In Philodina, this “dense layer” is shown to be an insertion point for fiber tracts associated with muscle-hypodermis desmosomes. The desmosomes are of interest in themselves since they are not of the septate type observed previously in rotifers and invertebrates in general, but are of the “standard” variety more commonly seen in higher animals.
