The male and female genital morphologies of the tribe Aphractini are presented in this study. Four species are included: , , and . A dichotomous key to the genera is provided. The lengths between the female spermathecal duct and titillatory articulated processes are similar within species but differ between them. Therefore, we propose that the function of these organs could be associated with the sperm removal strategy.
本研究展示了无沟蝇族的雄性和雌性生殖器形态。其中包括四个物种: 、 、 和 。文中提供了各属的检索表。雌性受精囊管与刺激关节突之间的长度在种内相似,但在种间存在差异。因此,我们认为这些器官的功能可能与精子清除策略有关。
