The functional reproductive morphology of the female glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca coagulata (Say), is described at both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy levels. The female has nine abdominal segments; the seventh to the ninth abdominal segments are modified for reproduction; the eighth tergite is reduced to two segments, with the ovipositor partially exposed from the modified ninth segment-the pygofer. The pygofer, covered with trichoid and coeloconic sensilla, almost completely encloses the ovipositor, which consists of three pairs of valvulae and two pairs of valvifers. The first and second valvulae function together for oviposition. The first valvulae are located exterior to the second valvulae, both of which bear many trichoid, campaniform, and coeloconic sensilla. The third valvulae, possessing many coeloconic sensilla, envelope the first and second valvulae. Seven major muscles are found to be associated with the ovipositor and the pygofer. The oviposition process is described with respect to the activity of the valvulae and their associated musculature. The female morphology follows the general pattern of cicadellids as a group.
在光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜水平下，对雌性玻璃翅叶蝉（Homalodisca coagulata (Say)）的功能性生殖形态进行了描述。雌性有九个腹节；第七至第九腹节为生殖功能而特化；第八背板缩减为两个节段，产卵器部分从特化的第九节段——肛节露出。肛节覆盖着毛形感器和腔锥感器，几乎完全包裹着产卵器，产卵器由三对产卵瓣和两对载瓣片组成。第一对和第二对产卵瓣共同起产卵作用。第一对产卵瓣位于第二对产卵瓣外侧，两者都有许多毛形、钟形和腔锥感器。第三对产卵瓣有许多腔锥感器，包绕着第一对和第二对产卵瓣。发现有七条主要肌肉与产卵器和肛节相关。根据产卵瓣及其相关肌肉组织的活动描述了产卵过程。雌性形态遵循叶蝉科作为一个类群的一般模式。
