Since the hay days of biology, hemolymph corpuscles of invertebrates have captured the attention of biologists. The voluminous literatures published during the 1800s to early 1900s by men like Cuenot, Metchnikoff, and others bear eloquent witness to their pioneering effort in this field. This fascination of early biologists with these cells has persisted to the present day. In the past 15 years one has experienced an accelerated increase in the output of reports dealing with invertebrate hemolymph formed elements. A brief survey of the literature, however, reveals that description of morphological types remains to be the major theme of most published reports. This may have been the fact that the diversity of forms of invertebrate hemolymph formed elements merely reflects the richness of invertebrate species. Thus, the task of describing and cataloging of invertebrate hemolymph formed elements must be continued, because it is a prerequisite to the development of any unifying concepts on the evolution and function of these cells. In our opinion, there are still major gaps in our knowledge regarding these cells to warrant an meaningful comprehensive review at this time.
