Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To identify Periostracum Cicadae and its two counterfeits by observation of microscopic characteristics of setae in animal drugs. METHODS The shapes and colors of dried exuviae powders for Cryptotympana pustulata (Fabricius), Platypleura kaempferi (Fabricius) and Tibicen flammatus (Dist.) were observed, and the diameter of trichopore length and the diameter of setae were measured and compared. RESULTS The different features of setae between genuine and counterfeits could be complied as a useful microscopic identification key of Periostracum Cicadae from its forged products. CONCLUSION The method of identifying animal drugs from their counterfeits by the remnant setae is confirmed.
