| contents | <p><b><i>Diplonevra</i> Lioy (total of 18 photos of seven mating events examined: Figure 3A–D)</b></p><p>The photos show a general mating position for <i>Diplonevra</i> with a few slight differences present in some of them. In one mating event, the female abdomen seems especially bent upward (Figure 3A) but this could be artefactual as it was not seen in the other photos. In two other photos, a structure of the female terminalia is contacting the male (Figure 3B). We identified this structure as two enlarged lobes that together form a roof-like plate covering the cerci. In another mating event (Figure 3C,D), the male lifts both forelegs during mating, a behaviour not seen in other photos of <i>Diplonevra</i>. We do not know of any modified structure in the <i>Diplonevra</i> foreleg that could be related to this behaviour.</p> |
