Abstract
The reproductive system and ovarian development of Delphastus catalinae(Horn) were investigated by anatomical method.The results showed that the reproductive system of female adult was constituted by a pair of ovaries,a pair of oviducts,median oviduct,spermatheca,bursa copulatrix,accessory glands,sticky glands and genital plate.The reproductive system of male adult was constituted by a pair of testes,a pair of seminal vesicles,a pair of seminal ducts,ejaculatory duct,a pair of male accessory glands,shipo and penis.Ovarioles of D.catalinae were constantly 8 in different developmental stages.Based on external morphology characteristics and the vitellines deposition conditions,the ovarian development in the adult stage of D.catalinae could be divided into 6 stages.
