17. Lema (Lema) diversa

Aedeagus ( Figs. 81 View FIGURES 76 – 91 & 99 View FIGURES 92 – 103 ): Median lobe stubby, ventral edge of median orifice projecting with rounded apex; median foramen shorter than apical 1/4 of ventral surface of median lobe. Tegmen forming rod-shaped lobe in lateral view.

Male internal reproductive system ( Fig. 109 View FIGURES 104 – 118 ): Testis relatively large, almost oval and constricted at middle (i.e. peanut-shaped), yellowish orange in color. Accessory gland sac-like, 1/3–1/2 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis. Lateral ejaculatory duct short, 1/4–1/2 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis; common ejaculatory duct uniform in width, almost equal length to maximal width of apparent testis.

Female internal reproductive system ( Figs. 124 View FIGURES 119 – 138 & 148 View FIGURES 139 – 162 ): Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix dorso-apically. Spermathecal capsule hook-shaped, pale yellowish brown in color; proximal part of spermathecal capsule almost uniform in width, curving ventrally at right angle; spermathecal duct relatively bold in width, 4 to 5 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule; spermathecal gland tubular, becoming bold toward apex, about 1.5 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule.
