13. Lema (Lema) cirsicola

Aedeagus ( Figs. 77 View FIGURES 76 – 91 , 92 & 93 View FIGURES 92 – 103 ): Median lobe stubby, slightly expanded at middle; ventral edge of median orifice stretched widely and projecting at middle; median foramen expanding apical 1/3 of ventral surface of median lobe. Tegmen forming baseball-bat-shaped lobe in lateral view.

Male internal reproductive system ( Fig. 105 View FIGURES 104 – 118 ): Testis large, almost oval and constricted at middle (i.e. peanut-shaped), yellowish orange in color. Accessory gland tubular and relatively slender, about half length to maximal width of apparent testis. Lateral ejaculatory duct about half length to maximal width of apparent testis; common ejaculatory duct slightly tapering toward apex, 1/2–2/3 times as long as maximal width of apparent testis.

Female internal reproductive system ( Figs 121 View FIGURES 119 – 138 , 140 & 141 View FIGURES 139 – 162 ): Eggs milky white in color. Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix dorso-apically. Spermathecal capsule hook-shaped, light yellowish brown and darkening toward base in color; proximal part of spermathecal capsule tubular, uniform in width, curving ventrally; spermathecal wall relatively thick apically and proximally; spermathecal duct long and slender, 6– 13 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule; spermathecal gland tubular, 1.3–2 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule.
