Surface Morphology of Spermatheca Structure In Some Terellia Rob-Des (Diptera: Tephritidae) Species: A Scanning Electron Microscope Study
Abstract
Spermatheca structures of 6
species [Terellia fuscicornis (Loew,
1844), T. longicauda (Meigen, 1838), T. luteola (Wiedemann, 1830), T. nigripalpis Hendel, 1927, T. serratulae (Linneaus, 1758) and T. virens (Loew, 1846)] belonging to
genus Terellia Robineau - Desvoidy
(Diptera: Tephritidae) were photographed with scanning electron microscopy
(SEM). Obtained figures were examined
and ultrastructure of the spermatheca for each species were described and
differences between species were discussed. Also SEM micrographs of each
species were presented.
