Morphology of spermathecae of some pentatomids (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) from Turkey Author Candan, Selami Author Yilmaz, Fatma Sümeyye Author Suludere, Zekiye Author Erbey, Mahmut text Zootaxa 2015 3937 3 500 516 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3937.3.4 e11e875d-c1c2-45de-8f5d-d990ae88adfd 1175-5326 241338 78B9465C-4ECD-40FC-89C6-2F978EA6D368 Codophila varia (Fabricius 1787) ( Figure 7 ) Spermathecal bulb is spherical shaped and sclerotized ( Figs. 7 .a,b). Surface of the bulb is covered with multiple pores ( Fig. 7 .c). Pumping region long and sclerotized at both ends ( Fig. 7 .d). The spermatheca has two pumping flanges (distal and proximal) that are plate shaped. Diameter of distal flange wider than proximal ( Figs. 7 .a,d). Length of distal spermathecal duct two thirds of proximal ( Fig. 7 .a) and distal spermathecal duct is smooth while proximal duct has muscular striations ( Figs. 7 .e,f). Median spermathecal dilation with sclerotized rod ( Fig. 7 .a). Proximal spermathecal duct is closely associated with the opening into the vagina. A pyriform sclerite surrounding opening of spermathecal duct ( Figs 7 g,h). Two ring sclerites present within genital chamber ( Figs. 7 .a, g, h,).
