| Definition |
Spiracular gland of the posterior spiracle. It is a single, elongated and club-shaped cell with a polytene nucleus. It has an efferent duct leading to a very small opening in the spiracular plate near the outer edge of the spiracular opening. There are three of these glands per spiracle.[ FlyBase:FBrf0064787 FlyBase:FBrf0078722 ] |

The third duct (and spiracular opening) is absent in first instar larva (Whitten, 1980). |
