posterior spiracular gland [FBbt_00000435]

Spiracular gland of the posterior spiracle. It is a single, elongated and club-shaped cell with a polytene nucleus. It has an efferent duct leading to a very small opening in the spiracular plate near the outer edge of the spiracular opening. There are three of these glands per spiracle. The third duct (and spiracular opening) is absent in first instar larva (Whitten, 1980).
