In the oocytes of Dysdercus intermedius Distant 1902, the 'nucleolus-l
ike bodies: dispersed between synapting chromosomes, are collected by
rotating ring-shaped 'annulets' at the end of the previtellogenic grow
th period. These annulets represent an intermediate stage of endobodie
s, a system for the transportation of rRNA from the germinal vesicle t
owards the ooplasm. Examinations were carried out by AVEC-DIC microsco
py.
