22. Lilioceris (Bradyceris) lewisi

Aedeagus ( Fig. 86 View FIGURES 76 – 91 ): Median lobe slender, ventral edge of median orifice rounded; median foramen extending apical 1/3 of ventral surface of median lobe. Tegmen forming semilunar lobe in lateral view.

Male internal reproductive system ( Fig. 113 View FIGURES 104 – 118 ): Testis almost oval, weakly constricted at middle, yellowish orange to orange in color; vas deferens very swollen and conspicuous in size as compared with other criocerines. Accessory glands tubular; of a pair of accessory glands, semi-transparent, shorter gland about half length to and longer gland about 3/4 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis. Lateral ejaculatory duct relatively thick in width, about half length to maximal width of apparent testis; common ejaculatory duct tapering toward apex, 1–1.5 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis.

Female internal reproductive system ( Figs. 129, 130 View FIGURES 119 – 138 & 156 View FIGURES 139 – 162 ): Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix ventro-apically. Spermathecal capsule hook-shaped, almost uniform in width, yellowish brown distally and brown proximally; proximal part of spermathecal capsule tubular, slightly curved ventrally; spermathecal wall relatively thick; spermathecal duct about 1.5 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule; spermathecal gland tubular, a little less than 2 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule.
