Lema (Lema) concinnipennis

Description

14. Lema (Lema) concinnipennis

Aedeagus (Figs. 78, 94 & 95): Median lobe stubby; ventral edge of median orifice slightly rounded; median foramen shorter than apical 1/3 of ventral surface of median lobe. Tegmen forming needle-shaped in lateral view.

Male internal reproductive system (Fig. 106): Testis large, almost oval and constricted at middle (i.e. peanut-shaped), yellowish orange in color. Accessory gland tubular and slender, about 1/3 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis. Lateral ejaculatory duct a little over than 1/3 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis; common ejaculatory duct relatively short, tapering toward apex, about 2/3 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis.

Female internal reproductive system (Figs. 122, 142–144): Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix apically. Spermathecal capsule hook-shaped, light yellowish brown in color; proximal part of spermathecal capsule tubular, gradually becoming bold toward base, curving very acutely at basal 1/3 point; spermathecal wall relatively thick; spermathecal duct long, 2/3–3/4 times as long as body length; spermathecal gland tubular, becoming bold toward apex, and about 1.5 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule.
