Matsumura, Yoko & Suzuki, Kunio, 2008, Comparative morphology of internal reproductive systems in leaf beetles of the Donaciinae and Criocerinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and its implication for the phylogeny, Zootaxa 1845, pp. 1-32 : 17-18

9. Donacia (Donaciomima) vulgaris

Aedeagus ( Fig. 17 ): Median lobe slender, 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 small footshaped lobe in lateral view and in dorsum forming slender lobe with long hairs in dorsal view.

Male internal reproductive system ( Fig. 29 ): Testis hemispherical in shape, milky white in color. Accessory glands tubular or pear-shaped; of a pair of accessory glands, shorter gland a little over 1/2 times and longer gland almost equal length to maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined. Proximal 2/3 of lateral ejaculatory duct broader than remaining, lateral ejaculatory duct 2/3–3/4 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined; common ejaculatory duct 2–2.5 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined.

Female internal reproductive system ( Figs. 50, 51 , 70 & 71 ): Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix apically. Spermathecal capsule hook-shaped, slightly tapering toward apex with small nipple-like projection, slightly constricted at middle, becoming bold proximally, light yellowish brown in color; spermathecal duct becoming bold toward apex, a little longer than maximal length of spermathecal capsule; spermathecal gland tubular, 3–3.5 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule.
