Résumé :
The accessory glands of the male reproductive system of Campodea remyi (Apterygota : Diplura : Campodeidea) consist of similar glandular units, each of which is made of a long secretory cell with a sieve at the tip of its extracellular cavity and a cell forming the excretory canalicule. During the annual cycle of sexual activity, they show morphological differences in terms of their size and the number of secretory granules. When ecdysis occurs, the cuticle of the ejaculatory duct and canalicules, the sieves, and the apical part of the glandular cells disappear. The gland's secretory products make up the spermatophore stalks.
