They represent an ideal system for investigating the adaptations necessary for obligate folivory, including plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs). However, their physiology and internal anatomy is poorly understood, with limited genomic resources available.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>We <italic>de novo</italic> assembled transcriptomes for the anterior and posterior midguts of six diverse Phasmatodea species, with RNA-Seq on one exemplar species, <italic>Peruphasma schultei</italic>. The latter’s assembly yielded >100,000 transcripts, with over 4000 transcripts uniquely or more highly expressed in specific midgut sections. Two to three dozen PCWDE encoding gene families, including cellulases and pectinases, were differentially expressed in the anterior midgut. These genes were also found in genomic DNA from phasmid brain tissue, suggesting endogenous production. Sequence alignments revealed catalytic sites on most PCWDE transcripts. While most phasmid PCWDE genes showed homology with those of other insects, the pectinases were homologous to bacterial genes.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>We identified a large and diverse PCWDE repertoire endogenous to the phasmids. If these expressed genes are translated into active enzymes, then phasmids can theoretically break plant cell walls into their monomer components independently of microbial symbionts. The differential gene expression between the two midgut sections provides the first molecular hints as to their function in living phasmids. Our work expands the resources available for industrial applications of animal-derived PCWDEs, and facilitates evolutionary analysis of lower Polyneopteran digestive enzymes, including the pectinases whose origin in Phasmatodea may have been a horizontal transfer event from bacteria.</p></sec><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article

They represent an ideal system for investigating the adaptations necessary for obligate folivory, including plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs). However, their physiology and internal anatomy is poorly understood, with limited genomic resources available.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>We <italic>de novo</italic> assembled transcriptomes for the anterior and posterior midguts of six diverse Phasmatodea species, with RNA-Seq on one exemplar species, <italic>Peruphasma schultei</italic>. The latter’s assembly yielded >100,000 transcripts, with over 4000 transcripts uniquely or more highly expressed in specific midgut sections. Two to three dozen PCWDE encoding gene families, including cellulases and pectinases, were differentially expressed in the anterior midgut. These genes were also found in genomic DNA from phasmid brain tissue, suggesting endogenous production. Sequence alignments revealed catalytic sites on most PCWDE transcripts. While most phasmid PCWDE genes showed homology with those of other insects, the pectinases were homologous to bacterial genes.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>We identified a large and diverse PCWDE repertoire endogenous to the phasmids. If these expressed genes are translated into active enzymes, then phasmids can theoretically break plant cell walls into their monomer components independently of microbial symbionts. The differential gene expression between the two midgut sections provides the first molecular hints as to their function in living phasmids. Our work expands the resources available for industrial applications of animal-derived PCWDEs, and facilitates evolutionary analysis of lower Polyneopteran digestive enzymes, including the pectinases whose origin in Phasmatodea may have been a horizontal transfer event from bacteria.</p></sec><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1186/1471-2164-15-917) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.</p></sec></abstract><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2014</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1"><title>Background</title><p>Whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput, next-generation sequencing tool that can efficiently identify tens of thousands of functional genes in an organism or specific tissue at a given time [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. This deep sequencing makes it a more attractive tool than microarrays for organisms lacking reference genomes, facilitating <italic>de novo</italic> transcriptome assembly [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>]. Its high coverage is desirable when profiling transcripts in tissues of unknown function, enabling researchers to generate and/or test multiple hypotheses at once (eg: [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]), and in organisms potentially harboring symbiotic organisms that may or may not produce the transcripts of interest (eg: [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]), as RNA-Seq can simultaneously identify genes from microbes and their vectors/hosts.</p><p>Such a combination of low genome resource availability and enigmatic physiology exists in the stick and leaf insects (order Phasmatodea), or phasmids. Though common in the pre-molecular biology era through the Laboratory Stick Insect, <italic>Carausius morosus</italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>], phasmid research today is relatively limited. Few phasmids are pests of agricultural crops [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>], though they reach plague-like abundances in temperate forests [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>] and <italic>C. morosus</italic> is an invasive pest in several countries [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>]. All life stages of all species within the order feed exclusively on leaves [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>]. This obligate folivory is relatively rare: Among insects it is known only from leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), while more basal “herbivores” such as grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera) will quite readily scavenge vertebrate meat, engage in cannibalism, and even hunt and kill other insects [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]. Thus phasmids are an ideal system for studying the evolution of herbivory in the lower Polyneoptera.</p><p>Folivorous organisms benefit greatly from plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs), a group that includes cellulases, hemicellulases, lignases, pectinases, and xylanases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>]. Once thought to be limited to microbes, endogenous (symbiont-independent) PCWDE production has since been found throughout the Animalia. In particular, cellulase (beta-1,4-endoglucanase; Enzyme Commission: 3.2.1.4) genes from the Glycoside Hydrolase family 9 (GH9) are now believed to have existed in the ancestor of all Metazoan life [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>] as opposed to having been repeatedly acquired from microbes via horizontal gene transfer, as is thought to be origin of GH45 and GH48 cellulases in beetles [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. Among insects, endogenous cellulases have been found in lower and higher termites, cockroaches, crickets, beetles [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>], a firebrat [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>], a springtail [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>], and, recently, the phasmids. High cellulase activity in the anterior midguts of two phasmid species, <italic>Eurycantha calcarata</italic> and <italic>Entoria okinawaensis</italic>, was detected, the responsible proteins isolated, and the genes encoding them sequenced. Sequence homology and antigency against an insect cellulase anti-serum supported an endogenous, Insectan origin for the enzymes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>]. Such a process is slow and predicated on the translation of PCWDE genes into enzymes active against laboratory substrates like carboxymethylcellulose or crystalline cellulose, whose specificity and selectivity are imperfect [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>].</p><p>Whether or not phasmids contain other PCWDEs, such as the cellobiases (a type of beta-glucosidase; EC:3.2.1.21) that convert the products of cellulase into glucose monomers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>] or the pectinases (polygalacturonases; EC:3.2.1.15) that hydrolyze pectin into galacturonic acid monomers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>], was unknown. Presence of such active enzymes could explain the obligate folivory of the Phasmatodea and be a key factor in the order’s evolution [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>], which is itself a puzzle as the sister order to the Phasmatodea is highly debated [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>]. Microbiological assays of the phasmid gut suggest digestion in the order is symbiont-independent [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>], so any phasmid PCWDE genes are likely endogenous, yet whether the genes show homology to insect or microbe genes depends on their own evolutionary origin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>]. Complicating the issue is the relative lack of genetic resources for phasmids or their most closely-related orders: Orthoptera [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>], Embioptera [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>], and Notoptera/Xenonomia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>]. Lastly, even if phasmids have PCWDE genes, their expression is not a guarantee, nor are they necessarily expressed in the gut region where they are most active. The phasmid midgut is physically differentiated into two sections: an anterior midgut (AMG) marked by circular pleating and folding, and a posterior midgut (PMG) studded irregularly by hollow bulbs with filamentous tubules called the “appendices of the midgut” that open into the midgut lumen [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>]. The appendices may have an excretory or secretory function, and the possibility exists that they produce digestive enzymes that are carried forward into the AMG via countercurrent flow [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>]. In the face of all these unknowns, next-generation sequencing is the best resource for answering questions of phasmid digestive physiology efficiently and effectively.</p><p>Here we used <italic>de novo</italic> transcriptome assembly to identify the genes expressed in the midguts of six species of Phasmatodea from four families, while greatly increasing the publicly available genetic resources for the order. We also used RNA-Seq on one exemplar species, <italic>Peruphasma schultei</italic> (Pseudophasmatidae) to quantitatively compare transcript expression between the AMG and PMG, and produced a genomic DNA library from the symbiont-free phasmid brain to confirm that identified transcripts were encoded by the insect itself. Our main goal was to identify the production organ of the Phasmatodea endogenous cellulase, while simultaneously creating an inventory of expressed PCWDE and other digestive genes in phasmids and generating hypotheses on their evolutionary origins and the putative functions of the midgut sections. This study serves as a necessary preliminary for more targeted molecular work. More broadly, our transcriptomes are useful for evolutionary analyses of non-cellulase PCWDEs in insects and identifying potential genes with biotechnological applications such as in processing biofuel feedstock or improving its rheology [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec2" sec-type="methods"><title>Methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Insects and microscopy</title><p>Insects used were <italic>Peruphasma schultei</italic> (Pseudophasmatidae), <italic>Sipyloidea sipylus</italic> (Diapheromeridae), <italic>Aretaon asperrimus</italic> (Heteropterygidae), and <italic>Extatosoma tiaratum, Medauroidea extradentata</italic>, and <italic>Ramulus artemis</italic> (Phasmatidae) cultured at room temperature in the Bohart Museum of Entomology, University of California, Davis.

This new data doubles the genera of phasmids with publicly available genetic resources on the NCBI databases, increasing the amount of annotated genes available for future work not only on Phasmatodea, but also on the Polyneoptera in general. Covering six species in four families, while drawing from the draft genome of a seventh species in a fifth family, the data suggests the differential expression and enzyme gene diversity of the phasmid midgut sections is mostly conserved throughout the order. Our findings will serve as a reference set for studying phasmid digestion and a jumping point for future proteomic and biochemical assays. The abundance of PCWDE isogroups in phasmids is relatively high, and the diversity of PCWDE types is comparable to those in certain leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae) like <italic>Phaedon cochleariae</italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR69">69</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR71">71</xref>] or wood-boring beetles (Cerambycidae) like <italic>Anoplophora glabripennis</italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR80">80</xref>]. The current record is likely <italic>Diabrotica virgifera virgifera</italic> (Chrysomelidae) with seventy-eight genes putatively encoding proteins from the same four enzyme classes studied here [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR55">55</xref>]. As Phasmatodea and Chrysomelidae are among the few insect groups to be exclusively folivorous, a possible correlation exists between that dietary niche and a diverse PCWDE complement.</p><p>For <italic>de novo</italic> transcriptomes, assemblers such as Trinity often cannot differentiate between homologous genes and isoforms or allelic variants of the same gene. They can potentially overestimate the number of isotigs (single or groups of contigs that should each constitute one splice variant) within an isogroup (all isotigs for one gene, identified by Trinity’s output as comp#_c#) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR81">81</xref>]. Combined with relatively low genetic resource availability for closely related insects and relatively high representation of species like the aforementioned beetles, we cannot be certain whether phasmids express more or fewer PCWDEs than the average herbivorous insect. In addition to using programs like RSEM designed to reduce such errors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">46</xref>], comparing the number of reads mapping to a locus on the genome can be used to infer the true isoform number and account for inflation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR82">82</xref>]. That most <italic>P. schultei</italic> transcriptome sequences (contigs) had more matching genome reads (Table <xref rid="Tab3" ref-type="table">3</xref>) than their corresponding isogroup has members (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>) suggests that our contig numbers represent true isoforms within each isogroup, rather than an overestimation due to mis-assembly [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR82">82</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR83">83</xref>]. These phasmid isoforms may reflect multiple gene copies or alternatively spliced genes, either case suggesting a diverse complement of proteins working together to fully digest multiple varieties of carbohydrate polymer. a highly derived genetic capacity for plant cell wall breakdown [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR84">84</xref>]. However, because some isotigs were truncated at the 3’ or 5’ end, the possibility exists that certain transcripts represent different ends of a single gene. Future work using RACE-PCR from primers based on the transcripts identified here would produce full-length cDNA sequences that will determine which transcripts represent unique genes and which are fragments, Such genes could then be expressed into insect cell cultures for use in downstream enzymatic activity assays [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR85">85</xref>].</p><p>Previous research has confirmed that the endogenous cellulase genes we demonstrated are most highly expressed in the anterior midgut are also most highly active in the anterior midgut [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>], making it the site of both cellulase translation and action. The physical structure of the AMG supports this hypothesis: the pleating and folding serves to greatly increase the available surface area of the AMG while slowing down the transit speed of food, increasing the amount of time and space available for cellulase enzymes to hydrolyze ingested plant material. Cellulase activity falls to nearly nothing in the PMG, tracking with cellulase gene expression. If we extend the results of cellulases to those of the other PCWDEs, then we hypothesize that phasmid digestive enzymes are active in the same region of the gut where they are expressed, making the pleated AMG the site of primary plant cell wall and polymer digestion and the PMG the site of secondary digestion of smaller oligomers at most.</p><p>We also hypothesize that phasmids can fully digest cellulose into glucose, as they have the two enzymesnecessary to do so, and also actively degrade pectin into galacturonic acid. Such digestive abilities could explain how phasmids survive on otherwise uncommon, obligately folivorous diets: by fully breaking down plant cell walls into assimilatable nutrients rather than just degrading the walls to access the nutrient-rich cytoplasm within. As transcriptomics only demonstrates gene expression, not translation or activity, these hypotheses cannot be confirmed with this data alone. However, the fact that phasmids have active cellulases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>] and the presence of the relevant catalytic residues on the phasmid cellulase, pectinase, and cellobiase transcripts (Figures <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>,<xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>,<xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref>) and some beta-1,3-glucanase transcripts (Figure <xref rid="Fig8" ref-type="fig">8</xref>) suggests the transcripts code for functional enzymes, supporting the hypothesis that these enzymes are indeed actively degrading plant cell walls. We have thus provided the necessary preliminary work justifying biochemical and proteomic assays into cellobiase, pectinase, and beta-glucanase activity in the phasmid gut.</p><p>Phasmid pectinases are all endopolygalacturonases in the GH28 group, known in insects only from the beetles and the Hemiptera, but they show homology and align to those from gamma proteobacteria (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>). Pectinase genes were also absent in the <italic>Timema</italic> genome. Our pectinase transcripts may have come from a bacterial symbiont. The successful mapping of all <italic>P. schultei</italic> pectinase and cellulase transcripts to genes in the <italic>P. schultei</italic> genome, the presence of eukaryote-specific poly-A tails and signal peptides on phasmid transcripts with complete open reading frames, previous studies with <italic>P. schultei</italic> and <italic>R. artemis</italic> suggesting their digestion is symbiont independent [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>], and the absence of characteristic paunches for microbial fermentation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>], all tentatively suggest these pectinases are encoded in the phasmids own genome and not produced by gut microbes. However, the possibility remains that the samples were contaminated by a non-symbiotic microbe: either a rare bacteria that poly-adenylates its RNA or a fungal symbiont that acquired a bacterial gene via horizontal transfer.</p><p>A more parsimonious hypothesis is that the phasmid pectinase gene was acquired through horizontal transfer from a bacterial ancestor, much as the beetle pectinases are thought to have been acquired though horizontal transfer from an Ascomycete fungus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR65">65</xref>], or as leaf beetle xylanases may have also transferred from a gamma proteobacteria [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR69">69</xref>]. The absence of the genes in <italic>Timema</italic> would suggest either that the transfer event occurred after the split between the Timematidae and the other Phasmatodea, or that the pectinase genes are ancestral to both and lost in <italic>Timema</italic>. Lastly, the similarity between phasmid and bacterial sequences could simply be an artefact of the over-representation of microbial and dearth of animal pectinases in the NCBI database at this time [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR86">86</xref>]. Using long range or RACE PCR to clone entire genes from phasmid genomic DNA and get introns would conclusively demonstrate whether or not the pectinases are endogenously produced or not, and such work on all six species studied here is underway.</p><p>Whether pectinase genes exist in other Polyneoptera remains to be seen, but would help determine when the horizontal transfer event could have occurred. Failure to find endogenous pectinases in closely related insects would mean the transfer occurred in an early Phasmatodea ancestor: a development that would have expanded the digestive abilities of the order and may have played a significant role in their evolution of obligate folivory. PCWDE diversity could also be correlated to the development of the longer and larger body sizes of the Euphasmatodea. Broader, multi-phyla, phylogenetic analysis for pectinolytic enzyme genes in the Animalia can answer this question [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>].</p><p>Phasmid cellobiases are GH1, as are those of other insects who produce them endogenously like the higher termites [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR87">87</xref>]. Such species can break down cellobiose independently, unlike the lower termites that have symbiotic microorganisms to produce their cellobiases for them. The beta-1,3-glucanases are GH16, similar to those found in Lepidoptera [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR74">74</xref>], however the prevalence of this recently described gene in animals has not been sufficiently examined. A greater sampling of this gene's presence in other animal, fungal, and bacterial species, as well as biochemical studies to determine the conserved catalytic residues for the protein, are needed before ordinal-level hypotheses can be made for the enzyme's evolutionary history. So far, the animal enzymes appear most closely related, and we hypothesize that at least three distinct beta-1,3-glucanase gene families existed in an early Phasmatodea ancestor, including the ancestor of the Timematidae.</p><p>Our work promotes phasmids as a potentially high-value source of novel PCWDEs for biotechnological applications [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR70">70</xref>]. Cellulases and pectinases are highly sought after by the biofuel industry to degrade feedstock into the monomers later converted into fuel, or to improve the flow rate of the material by reducing the amount of solid matter [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>]. Pectinases are also used in the production of coffee, tea, and juice, and in waste-water treatment [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR88">88</xref>]. Phasmid PCWDEs could be introduced into bacteria or fungi like <italic>Trichoderma reesei</italic>, for industrial-scale enzyme production or direct use in bioreactors for wastewater treatment or biofuel production [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR89">89</xref>].</p><p>Our <italic>de novo</italic> midgut transcriptomes enabled us to survey all expressed PCWDEs of the Phasmatodea at once and identify conserved catalytic domains, justifying downstream translation and activity level analyses. A benefit of this is system is the increased speed and efficiency compared to the converse [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR90">90</xref>]: running chemical assays to identify enzyme activity, using proteomics to identify the amino acid sequence of isolated enzymes, and working backwards from there to design a primer for the enzyme-encoding gene and hope it exists within the target organism’s genome itself and not a symbiont or contaminant [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR91">91</xref>]. Another benefit is that transcriptomics can reveal genes useful for phylogenetic analysis but that are not translated or whose proteins are modified post-translation such that the standard biochemical tests do not detect their function. An associated drawback is that expressed genes are not necessarily translated into active proteins, nor are they necessarily active at the site of expression [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR92">92</xref>]. However, when a reference genome is not available, a transcriptome can provide large sets of potential genes for study and, combined with genomic data, can determine whether or not they are endogenous to the target organism, which cannot be determined by homology alone. <italic>de novo</italic> transcriptome assembly combined with RNA-Seq is a powerful tool for suggesting putative functions for unknown tissues in understudied organisms and directions for future study.</p></sec><sec id="Sec16" sec-type="conclusions"><title>Conclusions</title><p>The folivorous Phasmatodea are an ideal system to study the evolution of obligate herbivory, yet a paucity of genetic resources and poorly understood basic biology impede such work. Using RNA-Seq, we demonstrated a diversity of plant cell wall degrading enzymes expressed differentially in the anterior section of the phasmid midgut. Of these, the cellulases, cellobiases, and beta-1,3-glucanases are likely all encoded in the insect’s own genome, as are the pectinases, though we could not definitively rule out a microbial source for the latter. Such an abundance of endogenous enzymes was not expected from the Polyneoptera, raising important questions on their evolutionary history. The efficiency by which our <italic>de novo</italic> transcriptomes generated new genomic resources and hypotheses for future research on Polyneopteran digestion demonstrate the power of such methods to analyze organisms lacking sequenced genomes. Our findings strongly encourage expanding the searches for PCWDEs, most notably the pectinases and beta-1,3-glucanases, into other, lower Polyneopteran insects.</p><sec id="Sec17"><title>Availability of supporting data</title><p>All reads and sequence files described in the manuscript are available under BioProject accessions PRJNA221630 for <italic>P. schultei</italic> and PRJNA238833 for the other phasmids.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><sec id="Sec18"><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="MOESM1"><media xlink:href="12864_2014_6620_MOESM1_ESM.xls"><caption><p>Additional file 1: Table S1: KEGG Table for the most highly expressed genes of the <italic>Aretaon asperrimus</italic> midgut.
