| 11. | There are also two finger-like digiti which can move independently of each other and the aedeagus.
|
| 12. | The aedeagus is almost straight, robust, but not very long; the vesica bears two strong horns.
|
| 13. | More definitive is the shape of the aedeagus which possesses a large ventral lobe and finger-like serrated flange.
|
| 14. | In these, instead, close to the aedeagus, is a triangular basal outgrowth of the gonocoxites called the gonosterna.
|
| 15. | Lastly, the aedeagus ( reproductive organ which is used to secrete sperm ) is flattened and inflated at the apex.
|
| 16. | Some Azelilini, perhaps all, completely lack the cornuti ( spines ) on the vesica of the aedeagus usually found in Lepidoptera.
|
| 17. | The aedeagus is part of the male's abdomen, which is the hindmost of the three major body sections of an insect.
|
| 18. | In these bugs, the male intromittent organ is formed by the coupling of the aedeagus with the left paramere, as in bed bugs.
|
| 19. | The species are similar to each other, small metallic blue-green-bronze beetles, often distinguished from each other only by the aedeagus.
|
| 20. | Adults are similar to " Oreta trispina ", but differ in the shape of the valve processes and terminal process of the aedeagus.
