Fig. 397.—<, testis: v, vas deferens ; g, seminal vesicle of Acheta campestris.—Alter Gegenbaur. There is a remarkable uniformity in the mode of develop- ment of the winged insects. In general, after fertilization of the egg, a few cells appear at one end of the egg ; these multiply, forming a single layer around the egg, this layer constituting the blastoderm. This layer thickens on one side of the egg, forming a whitish patch called the primitive streak or hand. The blastoderm molts, sloughing off an outer layer of cells, a new layer forming beneath ; the skin thus thrown off is called the serous membrane ; the second germ-layer (ectoderm) then arises, and a second membrane (called amnion, but not homologous with that of vertebrates) peels off from the primitive band just as the appendages are budding out, so that the body and appendages of the embryo insect are en- cased in the amnion as the hand and fingers are encased by a glove.
