Volume : III, Issue : VII, August - 2013 Scorpion Prohemocytes: A Comaparative Study G. R. Gonjari And U. H. Shah DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The present study was undertaken to recognize and study the prohemocytes in five species of scorpion-
Mesobuthus tamulus tamulus, Mesobuthus tamulus concanensis, Heterometrus xanthopus, Heterometrus phipsoni
and Orthochirus bicolor. Light and phase contrast microscopic observations have showed seven distinct types of
hemocytes in all five species ; prohemocytes (PRs), plasmocytes (PLs), granulocytes(GRs), spherulocytes (SPs),
adipohemocytes (ADs), oenocytoids (ODs) and coagulocytes (COs). Largest PR was observed in Heterometrus
xanthopus and smallest in Mesobuthus tamulus concanensis. PR of Heterometrus xanthopus was studied electron
microscopically. Along with morphology Differential Hemocytes Count (DHC) was also studied Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : G. R. Gonjari And U. H. Shah, (2013).
