Two types of hemocytes, granular amebocytes and spherule cells, were identified in an adult sea spider (Pycnogonida), Propallene longiceps, and their morphological and histochemical characteristics were determined. Granular amebocytes contain electron dense granules and vacuoles. This type of the cell contains Golgi complex, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum and shows some myelin figures in the cytoplasm. The granular amebocytes are not well stained supravitally. Spherule cells are filled with large spherical inclusions containing electron dense granule cores, but no other remarkable cytoplasmic inclusions. They are stained well by supravital staining. By observing living hemocytes stained supravitally, a large number of spherule cells were located in the ventral hemocoel, just beneath the midgut of the digestive tract, whereas granular amebocytes were observed abundantly in haemal channels of any tissue. The function of these cells in vivo was discussed.
