Ovarian development in Athalia rosae ruficornis Jakovlev (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) is described. Number of nurse cells per egg chamber is most often around 60 (close to 63 according to the 2n-1 rule), but in many cases it deviates from this number significantly. Two major yolk proteins [vitellins: large (apparent molecular weight 160-170 kD) and small (48-50 kD] were identified by SDS-PAGE. Western blotting and immunochemical detection using polyclonal antibodies prepared against each of the vitellins revealed that adult female but not male (both haploid and diploid) hemolymph contains vitellogenins corresponding to these vitellins. Vitellogenins become detectable in the hemolymph of late pupae, ad vitellins one day later in the oocytes of adults. Transplantation of immature ovaries into the adult male abdomen caused not only significant accumulation of vitellins in the oocytes but also appearance of small amounts of hemolymph vitellogenins in host males. Injection of homogenate of immature ovaries also caused appearance of small amounts of hemolymph vitellogenins in host males.
