Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

In this work, the internal reproductive organs of Spartocera dentiventris males and females with different ages are described, measured and illustrated. The most significant changes in the reproductive organs were found in the length and width of ovaries, which permit the distinction between immature and reproductive stages. No significant difference was found among the measurements of the reproductive structures of males at the different ages.
