5. Donacia (Donaciomima) flemora

Aedeagus ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 9 – 20 ): Median lobe slender, apical part of median lobe expanded; ventral edge of median orifice projecting at right angle; median foramen expanding apical 1/3 of ventral surface of median lobe. Tegmen in ventrum forming slender lobe with nipple-like projection in lateral view and in dorsum forming slen- der lobe in dorsal view.

Male internal reproductive system ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 21 – 33 ): Testis discoid to hemispherical in shape, milky white in color. Accessory glands tubular, tapering toward apex; of a pair of accessory glands, shorter gland about 2/3 times and longer gland almost equal length to maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined. Lateral ejaculatory duct tapering toward base, about 3/4 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined; common ejaculatory duct about 3 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined.

Female internal reproductive system ( Figs. 42, 43 View FIGURES 34 – 57 & 63 View FIGURES 58 – 75 ): Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix dorsally. Spermathecal capsule hook-shaped, tapering toward apex, yellowish brown in color and gradually darkening toward base; proximal part of spermathecal capsule bold in width; spermathecal wall relatively thick; spermathecal duct uniform in width, 1/2–2/3 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule; spermathecal gland tubular, 4–5 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule, and one of 2 females examined with branched spermathecal gland.
