Ultrastructural Study on Male External Genitalia of the Weaver Ant Oecophylla smaragdina (Fabricius), (Hymenoptera: Formicedae)
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The male genitalia of Oecophylla smaragdina appear to be phallic structures. The phallus is usually a large, highly complex arising from the wall of the genital chamber above the ninth sternum. The male external genitalia consist three parts, Basimere, Telomere and Adeagus. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies revealed that five types of sensilla, sensilla trichoidea ST-I, ST-II and ST-III, sensilla trichoidea curvata (STC) and sensilla basiconica (SB) are present on the genitalia.
