Abstract

The anatomy of the female reproductive system of the grasshopper Abracris flavolineata does not differ substantially from the most Orthoptera. Glandular pouches of Comstock - Kellogg are present and well developed. The spermatheca is single with a distal diverticulate structure. There are two ovaries of the panoistic €œcomb€ type, each one with 20-22 ovarioles. The pseudocollateral glands are fairly large and conspicuous. The histological studies of the ovariole and spermatheca revealed some distinct features.
