The insect peptides leucomyosuppressin (pEDVDHVFLRFamide) and dromyosuppressin (TDVDHVFLRFamide) have identical chemical sequences with the exception of the N-terminal amino acid; both inhibit spontaneous contraction of insect visceral muscles. Neurons in the hypocerebral ganglion of horn fly, Hematobia irritans (L.), and stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), were found to contain material immunoreactive to antiserum produced against the C-terminal of leucomyosuppressin, but not to the N-terminal of dromyossuppressin. Two large lateral clusters containing 8 cells, linked dorsally and ventrally by 2 chains of 6 cells, encircled the anterior surface of the proventriculus and were immunoreactive of leucomyosuppressin and FMRFamide antisera. Axons from these cells were traced to the wall of the aorta and over the surface of the proventriculus. Ultrastructural analysis revealed these cells contained a singular type of elementary secretory granule that contained material of relatively low electron density, both in the cell body and at the axon terminals.
