SYNOPSIS Egg resorption in Nasonia vitripennis, a parasite on the pupal stage of muscoid flies, was investigated histochemically and the changes in the carbohydrates, nucleic acids, protems and lipies of the egg yolk are described. Three types of yolk particle were demonstrated, which varied in their reaction to the histochemical tests used. An account is given of the changes in distribution in the resorbing egg of the yolk particles, alkaline phosphatase and RNA.
