Haemolymph and fat body soluble protein titres have been examined during the reproductive cycle ofDiploptera punctata, with particular emphasis on the occurrence of vitellogenin and its uptake into the developing oöcytes. Vitellogenin was first detected in the haemolymph of mated females 2 days after adult eclosion at about the same time that vitellin deposition in basal oöcytes began. Peak haemolymph titres of vitellogenin occurred on day 6, correlated with the completion of yolk uptake. Thereafter vitellogenin levels declined and were generally undetectable throughout most of gestation, rising again shortly before parturition in association with the second gonotrophic cycle. Total haemolymph protein levels were not correlated with vitellogenesis.Soluble fat body vitellogenin titres of mated females remained low during the first oöcyte growth period but then rose several-fold at its completion and remained high throughout pregnancy and the second gonotrophic cycle. Total fat body soluble proteins decline after adult eclosion in association with oöcyte growth.Vitellin accumulation in basal oöcytes was related linearly to increase in volume until the onset of chorion formation. Thus no post-vitellogenic growth period was detected.
