摘要：

The adherence of a pathogenic bacterium Serratia entomophila to foregut cuticle of Costelytra zealandica (Coleoptera : Scarabidae) is described ultrastructurally. The bacteria adhere by fimbriae to the epicuticular superficial layer which often strips off with bacteria remaining attached. The superficial layer stains with ruthenium red, but it is not known if fimbriae attach to specific carbohydrate receptors. Previous terminology used for insect epicuticle layers is reviewed and a standard nomenclature proposed.
