Abstract:
:The receptaculum seminis, opening into the female genital tract, is found only in the metastriate ixodid ticks. An endospermatophore that has been inserted into the female genital aperture at copulation is first stored in the receptaculum seminis, where spermiogenesis is completed before the sperm ascend the oviducts. The receptaculum seminis consists of a simple cuticularized epithelium. Epithelial cells in sexually matured females develop during feeding and become active in secretion. Secretions discharged from epithelial cells are released into the lumen of this organ through the cuticle and may act on the wall of the inserted endospermatophore. The fact that resumption of spermiogenesis (spermateleosis) has already occurred before destruction of the endospermatophore just after copulation suggests that secretions from epithelial cells of the receptaculum seminis are not the trigger of spermateleosis, but a destructive agent of the endospermatophore wall.
