26. Oulema dilutipes

Aedeagus ( Fig. 90 View FIGURES 76 – 91 ): Median lobe stubby, ventral edge of median orifice projecting with rounded apex; median foramen shorter than apical half of ventral surface of median lobe. Tegmen forming boomerangshaped lobe in lateral view.

Male internal reproductive system ( Fig. 117 View FIGURES 104 – 118 ): Testis relatively large, almost oval and strongly constricted at middle (i.e. peanut-shaped), and yellowish orange in color. Accessory glands tubular; of a pair of accessory glands, shorter gland about 1/3 times and longer gland about half length to maximal width of apparent testis. Lateral ejaculatory duct short, about 1/3 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis; common ejaculatory duct slightly tapering toward apex, almost equal length to maximal width of apparent testis.

Female internal reproductive system ( Figs. 136, 137 View FIGURES 119 – 138 & 161 View FIGURES 139 – 162 ): Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix apically. Spermathecal capsule hook-shaped, tapering toward apex, light yellowish brown in color; proximal part of spermathecal capsule irregularly and highly twisted, uniform in width except proximal part enlarged; spermathecal duct about 2 times as long as maximal length of distal part of spermathecal capsule; spermathecal gland tubular, about 3 times as long as maximal length of distal part of spermathecal capsule.
