Meanwhile segmentation of the body and development of the appendages and internal organs go on. The mesoderm develops as a single layer of cells interrupted on the median longitudinal hne except at the cephaUc end. When the dorsal ectoderm wall closes, the coelomic sacs, which had remained open on the dorsal side until this time, also close. Coelomic sacs are found in the antennal, gnathal, thoracic, and 10 (possibly 11) abdominal segments. The sacs (Fig. 109) in structure strikingly resemble those of the Blattidae.

The gan- glion cells of the central nervous system, however, do not cover the dorsal surface of the neuropile of the ganglia. The tracheal system develops rather late, the invaginations appearing about the time of the eversion of the embryo from the yolk. Two pairs of thoracic and 9 (or possibly 10) pairs of abdominal spiracles develop. Oenocytes seem to be lacking. When the segmentation of the embryo is completed the serosa con- tracts anterodorsallj^, and the amnion everts, the embryo thereby being drawn toward the periphery (Fig. 110). Following this the amniotic pore expands, the embryo everts, and the amnion stretches over the surface (Fig. HI, am) as the serosa (ser) still further contracts. The two mem- branes together with the embryo thus form an envelope around the yolk. The embryo now lies on the surface except for the ventrally
