Characterization of the alimentary canal of the aphidophagous ladybird, Adalia bipunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): anatomical and histological approaches
TLDR
The anatomy of the alimentary canal of A. bipunctata seems to conform to its carnivorous and recent phylogenetic status within the family Coccinellidae.
Histomorphology of the Alimentary tract of adult, Odoiporus longicollis(oliv.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Gut Luminal Digestive Proteinases of Adult Lady Beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coccinellidae: Coleoptera), Fed an Artificial Diet
Digestive enzymes level in the midgut ofAdoretus lasiopygus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae: Coleoptera)
Enzyme system pertaining to the midgut region ofAdoretus lasiopyous Burm. is studied in vitro. Most of the carbohydrases operate optimally in the mesomesenteron whereas proteinases and lipases behave…
EFFECT OF VARIOUS FACTORS ON THE ACTIVITY OF SUCRASE FROM THE LARVAE OF SESAMIA INFERENS
Salivary gland sucrase activity from Sesamia inferens Wlk. was optimal at pH 5.8 and temperature 35°. It increased up to 1.5% final sucrose concentration, but higher concentrations had no effect. A…
Carbohydrrases in the Gut and the Salivary Gland, and the Nature of the Amylase in the Gut Homogenate of Lygus disponsi LINNAVUORI (Hemiptera : Miridae)
SOME PROPERTIES OF SALIVARY AMYLASES OF ADELPHOCORIS SUTURALIS (MIRIDAE), DOLYCORIS BACCARUM (PENTATOMIDAE), AND SEVERAL OTHER HETEROPTERAN SPECIES 1
TLDR
It seems highly probable that taxonomically related heteropterous insects might well be grouped with respect to the degree of activation of the salivary amylase by CI‐ or NOA3‐.

TLDR
It is of some interest for insect and comparative physiology that proteolytic activities at low pH levels have been found in the larval stages of the house fly.

Further Studies on Digestion of Food in the Gut of Trogoderma Larva. I. Digestive Enzymes-Carbohydrases
TLDR
Fourth-instar larvae of Trogoderma is counted of its great importance as a storedgrain pest and also to ascertain the physiological principles involved in the differences between the feeding habits of this insect and those of allied forms like Anthrenus and Dermestes, which feed on products of animal origin.

TLDR
