ABSTRACT
Larval and pupal haemocytes of Spodoptera mauritia (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) are presented and
classified based on morphological characteristics. Haemolymph sample collected from fourth larval
stage to pupal stage were observed using light microscopy. Six general haemocytes: Plasmatocytes
(PLs), Granulocytes (GRs), Prohaemocytes (PRs), Spherulocytes (SPs), Oenocytoids (OEs), and
Adipohaemocytes (ADs), besides two additional haemocytes, Podocytes (Pos) and Vermicytes (VEs)
were observed. PR was smallest with large nucleus, PLs was polymorphic and abundant. The GRs
was abundant with cytoplasmic granules, SPs was large with spherules. The ADs was within
variable size and shape, OEs was large cell with large nucleus. The POs was triradiate with three
cytoplasmic extension and VEs was very elongate with elongated anterior and posterior ends. Total
and differential haemocytes count (THC & DHC) was also calculated in present investigation.
Key words: Noctuidae, DHC,THC
