There is one of these cells per hemineuromere and it is involved in establishing the longitudinal connectives (Thomas et al., 1984; Hidalgo and Brand, 1997). Before the end of embryogenesis, dMP2 cells of anterior neuromeres die by apoptosis, and those of posterior neuromeres (A6-9) develop into insulinergic cells that persist into the larval stage (Miguel-Aliaga et al., 2008).
