Morphostructural investigation of the female reproductive system and molecular evidence for Wolbachia in Balclutha brevis Lindberg 1954 (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae)

Morphology of the Female Reproductive System in Carpocoris mediterraneus Tamanini, 1958 (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

“…As in other Heteroptera species, in C. mediterraneus each ovariole consists of a terminal filament, germarium, vitellarium and pedicel (Lalitha et al, 1997; Bogusław 1999; Kugler et al, 2006; Szklarzewicz et al, 2007; Lemos et al, 2010; Michalik et al, 2013; Özyurt et al, 2013; Pappalardo et al, 2016; Özyurt Koçakoğlu et al, 2019). But, Szklarzewicz (1997) reported that in each ovariole O. urticae (Ortheziidae) and N. floccose (Ortheziidae) have a tropharium and the vitellarium (Szklarzewicz, 1997).…”

“…In C. mediterraneus , each ovariole is attached to the abdomen wall via a thin, long, rope like terminal filament. Terminal filaments are similar to G. lineatum (Pentatomidae), Abedus ovatus (Belostomatidae), Perillus bioculatus (Pentatomidae), Cacopsylla ulmi (Psyllidae), Balclutha brevis (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae), E. ventrale , L. equestris , C. variegatus , P. apterus and G. lacustris (Adams, 2001; Kot et al, 2016; Lalitha et al, 1997; Özyurt et al, 2013; Pappalardo et al, 2016; Özyurt Koçakoğlu et al, 2019; Özyurt Koçakoğlu, 2020). The ovarioles of O. urticae (Ortheziidae), N. floccose (Ortheziidae) Porphyrophora polonica (Coccinea) and P Palaeococcus fuscipennis (Monophlebidae) are always devoid of terminal filaments (Szklarzewicz 1997; Szklarzewicz et al,.…”

“…The number of ovarioles often varies among different species. Although the number of ovarioles is generally 6–7 in different species of the Pentatomidae family, it varies considerably in species belonging to different families (Szklarzewicz, 1997; Pires et al, 2007; Szklarzewicz et al, 2007; Papáček & Soldán, 2008; Ogorzałek & Trochimczuk, 2009; Uceli et al, 2011; Pappalardo et al, 2016; Özyurt Koçakoğlu et al, 2019; Özyurt Koçakoğlu, 2020).…”

The Ovariol Morphology and Ultrastructure of Poecilimon ataturki Ünal, 1999 (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) and the Histochemical Features of the Yolk Granules

“…The female reproductive system in insects consists of a pair of ovaries which consist of ovarioles, a pair of lateral oviducts, and a genital chamber. Each ovary continues with a canal called a lateral oviduct where the mature egg moves forward to be left out and the lateral oviducts come together to form a common oviduct of ectodermal origin (Viscuso et al, 1999;Lange, 2009;Klowden, 2013;Pappalardo et al, 2016). Besides all these main reproductive organs such as spermatheca (receptaculum seminis) and reproductive glands, there are some other auxiliary structures that help reproduction in female insects which play a role in transfer and protection of the gametes (Nandchahal, 1972;Giuffrida et al, 1996;Sturm & Pohlhammer, 2000;Lange, 2009;Brundo et al, 2011;Sturm, 2012;Masci et al, 2015;Pappalardo et al, 2016).…”

Morphology and Fine Organization of the Midgut of Poecilimon ataturki Ünal, 1999 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae)

“…The knowledge about invasive species provides the necessary preliminary information to form and develop appropriate control strategies. In this context, the morphology, histology and ultrastructure of the internal systems of the insects must be known in order to decide which pesticides to apply that will only affect the targeted insect without harming the environment and other living things to minimize and control the economic damages (Mead et al, 1988, Karaca et al, 2006Willis et al, 2010;Vitale et al, 2015;Pappalardo et al, 2016;Polat, 2016;Amutkan Mutlu, 2020).…”
