“…Crampton (1942) suggested that specific terms, such as oviscapt, would be more appropriate. Grimaldi (1990) has introduced this term in Drosophila systematics, and since then it has been used in multiple systematic and functional morphology studies (Hu and Toda, 2001;Bächli et al, 2004;Kamimura, 2010;Kamimura and Mitsumuto, 2011;Yassin and Orgogozo, 2013). However, given our conservation of the terms hypandrium and epandrium for the sternite and tergite of abdominal segment 9 in our paper on male terminalia anatomy (Rice et al, 2019), we prefer here for consistency the usage of the terms hypogynium and epigynium for the sternite and tergite of female abdominal segment 8.…”

“…As the anatomical term hypogynium is not commonly used in the literature, it would be preferable to cite it alongside the more common functional term "ovipositor" in publications, e.g., hypogynium (ovipositor) or ovipositor (hypogynium). The terminalia have formerly been called the proctiger and consequently the sternite and tergite surrounding the anus were called the hypoproct and the epiproct, respectively (Grimaldi, 1990;Vilela and Bächli, 1990;Hu and Toda, 2001;Bächli et al, 2004;Kamimura and Mitsumuto, 2011). However, in some Dipteran species, two additional lateral plates, called the cerci, also surround the anus.…”

“…It has an average of 18 sensilla of which two are large. It arises from segment 10 primordium in the female genital disc (Grimaldi, 1990;Vilela and Bächli, 1990;Hu and Toda, 2001;Bächli et al, 2004;Kamimura and Mitsumuto, 2011).

“…Parenthetical names next to FlyBase ID numbers indicate the name as it appears in FlyBase, as some names were modified slightly in FlyBase for consistency with existing terms "hypogynial bristle" is used as opposed to "hypogynial sensilla", to reflect how other structures of this type have been referred to in FlyBase).

The model organism Drosophila melanogaster has become a focal system for investigations of rapidly evolving genital morphology as well as the development and functions of insect reproductive structures. To follow up on a previous paper outlining unifying terminology for the structures of the male terminalia in this species, we offer here a detailed description of the female terminalia of D. melanogaster. Informative diagrams and micrographs are presented to provide a comprehensive overview of the external and internal reproductive structures of females. We propose a collection of terms and definitions to standardize the terminology associated with the female terminalia in D. melanogaster and we provide a correspondence table with the terms previously used. Unifying terminology for both males and females in this species will help to facilitate communication between various disciplines, as well as aid in synthesizing research across publications within a discipline that has historically focused principally on male features. Our efforts to refine and standardize the terminology should expand the utility of this important model system for addressing questions related to the development and evolution of animal genitalia, and morphology in general.

Species identification of livefood flightless fly (Torinido‐shoujoubae) through DNA barcoding

Torinido‐shoujoubae, as it is called in Japanese, is a flightless Drosophila sp. that is sold commercially in Japan. This Drosophila sp. is often used as feeds for model organisms such as reptiles and spiders. There is no scientific name provided for the fruit fly that is known as Torinido‐shoujoubae, as well as any historical background or data behind this species. There has been a previous study that was conducted through morphological characteristics analysis of the body as well as the male copulatory organ and has been estimated as Drosophila hydei. The objective of this study was to determine the species of this unidentified fly known as Torinido‐shoujoubae based on a molecular evidence with a DNA barcoding. Samples were purchased from four separate suppliers to examine whether there are any differences between them. COI regions were amplified using PCR and the sequenced results were aligned against two databases, NCBI and BOLD. Torinido‐shoujoubae samples provided from all suppliers were confirmed to be D. hydei.

Wolbachia affect behavior and possibly reproductive compatibility but not thermoresistance, fecundity, and morphology in a novel transinfected host, Drosophila nigrosparsa

Wolbachia, intracellular endosymbionts, are estimated to infect about half of all arthropod species. These bacteria manipulate their hosts in various ways for their maximum benefits. The rising global temperature may accelerate species migration, and thus, horizontal transfer of Wolbachia may occur across species previously not in contact. We transinfected and then cured the alpine fly Drosophila nigrosparsa with Wolbachia strain wMel to study its effects on this species. We found low Wolbachia titer, possibly cytoplasmic incompatibility, and an increase in locomotion of both infected larvae and adults compared with cured ones. However, no change in fecundity, no impact on heat and cold tolerance, and no change in wing morphology were observed. Although Wolbachia increased locomotor activities in this species, we conclude that D. nigrosparsa may not benefit from the infection. Still, D. nigrosparsa can serve as a host for Wolbachia because vertical transmission is possible but may not be as high as in the native host of wMel, Drosophila melanogaster.
