Summary
The distribution of locusta-tachykinin-, substance P- and FMRFamide-like immunoreactivities in the central complex of the beetle Tenebrio molitor during postembryonal development is described. These peptidergic neurons show distinct variations in their arborizations or occurrence in the central body, allowing a closer description of the formation of a midbrain neuropil.
