Abstract
Although the in vitro culture of insect hemocytes for varying periods of time has been reported for about 50 years, the establishment of hemocyte cell lines has been accomplished only recently. Mitsuhashi (1966, 1967 a) succeeded in obtaining such a line from the diapausing larvae of the rice borer, Chilo suppressalis. In this report the establishment of another hemocyte cell line is described. It is isolated from the diapausing pupae of a moth, Samia cynthia.
