Malpighian tubules in insects arose primarily for the purpose of hydromineral regulation. In the small cabbage white Pieris canidia larva there are six tubules, with three on each side of the body. Together with the common cabbage white Pieris brassicae larva they are frequently encountered pests on cruciferous plants. Although physiological studies on the functions of Pieris brassicae larval malpighian tubules have been well documented, detailed ultrastructural studies on these tubules have not been thoroughly studied. For the sake of further understanding on how these malpighian tubules function an electron microscopic study of different regions of the malpighian tubules of Pieris canidia have been carried out.
