Aedeagus Structure of Cassida prasina Illiger, 1798 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) in Scanning Electrone Microscope (SEM)
Abstract
It is accepted that male
genitalia are not diagnostic and spermathecae are partly diagnostic within the
genus Cassida Linnaeus, 1758
(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae). However, studies on genitalia have
been based on only stereo microscope up to now. Ultra-structures of genitalia
have never been studied except for a few works. The aim of this study was to
determine whether the ultrastructural works are efficient or not. In the
present work, male genitalia from two specimens of Cassida prasina Illiger, 1798 collected from Düzce and Karabük
provinces in 2001 and 2003, which have been examined by electron microscope for
the first time. New diagnostic characters were obtained and it revealed that it
was diagnostic from the previously worked species in others subgenus. Photos of
aedeagus in both SEM and stereo microscope are also given in the text.

Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobunda (SEM) Cassida prasina Illiger, 1798 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) 'nın Aedeagus Yapısı
Abstract
Cassida Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera:
Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) cinsi içerisinde genel olarak erkek genitalinin
ayırt edici olmadığı, spermatekanın ise kısmen ayırt edici olduğu kabul
edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte şimdiye kadar yapılan genital çalışmalarının sadece
stereo mikroskoba dayalı olduğu görülmektedir. Genital yapıların ince yapısı
birkaç çalışma dışında çalışılmamıştır. İnce yapı çalışmalarının verimli olup
olmadığını ortaya koymak amacıyla bu çalışmada Türkiye’den 2001 ve 2003
yıllarında Düzce ve Karabük illerinden toplanan toplam iki Cassida prasina Illiger, 1798 örneğine ait erkek genital
yapısı SEM’de ilk kez incelenmiştir. Bu sayede yeni ayırt edici karakterler
elde edilmiş ve diğer bir alt cinsteki daha önce çalışmış türlerden ayırt edici
olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Erkek genitalinin hem SEM hem de stereo mikroskop
fotoğrafları da çalışma içerisinde sunulmuştur.
