germarium cap cell [FBbt_00004868]
Somatic cell found posterior to the terminal filament. There is a group of 2-6 cells which are usually positioned asymmetrically on one side of the germarium tip, capping the underlying germ line stem cells. They express en and strong LamC; unlike terminal filament cells they also have tj expression (Panchal et al., 2017).
