Abstract
In Capillaria pterophylli Heinze, 1933, two lateral bacillary bands extend along the whole body in female and male worms. A ventral bacillary band is present in females only. The bacillary bands consist of glandular and non-g landular cells, and in the region between the nerve ring and the end of the stichosome, ciliated sense receptors in tight connection with gland cells are present.
