Abstract
The male reproductive
organs in insects are typically composed of a pair of seminal vesicles and a
pair of test tubes joined to the excretion channel on the median line. The
samples used in the study were collected from İzmir Bozdağ region and from
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. All
testis samples were fixed in Bouin’s solution and Mayer’s Haematoxylin-Eosin
(H&E) was used to stain for tissue section. As a result of the macroscopic examinations, it was
determined that the testis appearance of Tentyria
cypria is different from other species used in the study. At the end of the
histological examinations, the general appearance of the T. cypria’s testis was similar to a four-leafed clover. In all
three species, spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, secondary spermatocytes,
spermatids, and spermatozoa, which are the stages of spermatogenesis in all
follicles, are clearly visible. In this study, morphological and
histological differences in male reproductive organs were demonstrated for the
first time in three different Tentyria
species belonging to Tenebrionidae family.

Abstract
Böceklerde erkek
üreme organları tipik olarak bir çift seminal vezikül ve medyan hatta bulunan
boşaltım kanalıyla birleşen bir çift testisten oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada
kullanılan örnekler İzmir Bozdağ bölgesinden ve Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk
Cumhuriyeti'nden toplanmıştır. Disekte edilen testisler Bouin solüsyonunda fikse edilip,
doku kesitlerinin boyanması için Mayer’s Hematoksilen-Eozin kullanıldı.
Makroskopik incelemeler sonucunda, Tentyria
cypria'ya ait testis görünüşünün çalışmada kullanılan diğer türlerden
farklı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Histolojik incelemeler sonunda T. cypria’ya
ait testisin genel görünümünün 4 yapraklı bir yoncaya benzediği tespit
edilmiştir. Her üç türde de bütün foliküllerde spermatogenezin safhalarına ait
yapılar olan spermatogonyumlar, primer spermatositler, sekonder spermatositler,
spermatidler ve spermler oldukça belirgin bir şekilde görülmektedir. Bu
çalışmayla, Tenebrionidae
familyasına ait üç farklı Tentyria
türünde, erkek üreme organlarında morfolojik ve histolojik yapılar ilk kez
gösterilmiştir.
