“…The understanding of the function of these organs is rudimentary I( 10), with only a few studied in detail (25,28,29,102,103,109,116,166,215,216,218,219,232).…”

“…The parameres have been reported to grasp the ovipositor valves in He miptera (25,165) and in Mecoptera (43), to grip the subgenital plate in Hymenoptera (151), while in Lepidoptera they hold the extremity of the female abdomen (218,219,232) and in Aedes aeqypti they grasp the female cerci (102,103,215). The organs used for initial seizing of the genitalia may be different from the structures used for final holding of the female apparatus (219).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
