Symbionts in bacteriomes and fat bodies before migration to the hemolymph in different cicada species. A to D For E. coelestia, Sulcia and Hodgkinia released from the bacteriomes to the hemolymph, and Arsenophonus released from fat bodies to the hemolymph. E to H For Te. sp., Sulcia and Hodgkinia released from bacteriomes to the hemolymph. I to L For K. caelatata, Sulcia released from the bacteriomes to the hemolymph, and YLS released from fat bodies to the hemolymph. M to P For Ta. sp., Sulcia released from the bacteriomes to the hemolymph, and YLS released from fat bodies to the hemolymph. Q to T For G. tienta, Sulcia released from the bacteriomes to the hemolymph, and YLS released from the fat bodies and the bacteriome sheath to the hemolymph. U to X For H. maculaticollis, Sulcia released from the bacteriomes to the hemolymph, and YLS released from the fat bodies and the bacteriome sheath to the hemolymph. Abbreviations: BS, bacteriome sheath; A, Arsenophonus; H, Hodgkinia; N, nucleus; R, Rickettsia; S, Sulcia; Y, yeast-like fungal symbiont. Black arrows represent the emigration of the symbiont(s)
