Abstract

Female Hemiergis peronii ovulate in the spring; males' testes are small and without sperm in the spring, enlarge to a maximum in late summer, and decrease in the winter. Females' oviducts contain sperm over the winter. It follows that females are inseminated in autumn and store sperm until they ovulate in spring.

摘要

雌性佩氏半泽蛛在春季排卵；雄性的睾丸在春季较小且无精子，在夏末时增大到最大，在冬季减小。雌性的输卵管在冬季含有精子。由此可见，雌性在秋季受精并储存精子，直到春季排卵。
