Notes on the female reproductive system of the red‐and‐black froghopper, Cercopis vulnerata Rossi, 1807 (Hemiptera: Cercopidae)‐light and electron microscopy studies
Abstract:The morphology of the female reproductive system in Cercopis vulnerata, an economically important species, was examined with light and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The female reproductive system of C. vulnerata has two ovaries, each containing 14 telotrophic meroistic ovarioles joined by two lateral oviducts that open in a common oviduct. In this type of ovarioles, the trophocytes within the germarium are transferred to the developing oocytes in the vitellarium via the nutritive cords. The oocytes … Show more
