Resumo

In this work we carried out histological and histochemical analyses of the midgut of Pachycondyla (= Neoponera) villosa in order to study the generative cells (associated with epithelial regeneration) and ``goblet cells{''} (associated with transport of ions through the epithelium). The regenerative cells are responsible for the replacement of the digestive cells and are grouped on the basis of these cells. The ``goblet cells{''} are formed by a depression rich in microvilli through which secretion activity typically occurs. (AU)
