Abstract
The structure and cell types of the organs of Halobates hayanus from Libong Island, Thailand, were
investigated using a histological method. The integumentary system of this
species consists of three layers: epicuticle, exocuticle, and endocuticle. Throughout
the body, the muscular system
exclusively included skeletal muscle. In the
excretory system, we found four fully formed Malpighian tubules, each one lined
with a straightforward cuboidal epithelium harbouring secretory granules. The
digestive system comprised a foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The
midgut had three distinct cell types: basal cells, epithelium, and absorptive cells. The
nervous system comprised two regions: A ventral nerve cord and a frontal ganglion,
which is connected to the eye structure. The frontal ganglion was composed of two
lobes each containing an outer cortex and inner medulla. The outer
cortex presented neurosecretory cells, neuroglia cells, and neurons. The
neurosecretory cells were large and contained secretory granules in their
cytoplasm. This
histological study also showed the reproductive system of this gerrid species,
including the reproductive tract, and the accessory organ.

Abstrak
Struktur dan jenis sel organ Halobates hayanus dari Pulau Libong, Thailand, dikaji menggunakan kaedah histologi. Sistem
integumen spesies ini terdiri daripada tiga lapisan: epikutikel, eksokutikel
dan endokutikel. Pada seluruh badan, sistem otot secara eksklusif merangkumi
otot rangka. Dalam sistem perkumuhan, kami menjumpai empat tubul Malpighian
yang telah terbentuk sepenuhnya, setiap satu dilapisi dengan epitelium kuboid
lurus yang menyimpan butiran rembesan. Sistem pencernaan terdiri daripada usus
depan, usus tengah dan usus belakang. Usus tengah mempunyai tiga jenis sel yang
berbeza: sel basal, epitelium dan sel penyerap. Sistem saraf terdiri daripada
dua kawasan: kord saraf ventral dan ganglion frontal, yang bersambung dengan
struktur mata. Ganglion frontal terdiri daripada dua lobus setiap satu
mengandungi korteks luar dan medula dalam. Korteks luar membentangkan sel
neurorembesan, sel neuroglia dan neuron. Sel neurorembesan adalah besar dan
mengandungi butiran rembesan dalam sitoplasmanya. Kajian histologi ini juga
mendedahkan sistem pembiakan spesies gerrid ini, termasuk saluran pembiakan dan
organ aksesori.
