Abstract:

The reproductive system of alates, queens and kings in Odontotermes formosanusShiraki was studied with anatomy. The results showed that the number of ovarioles in queens and spermatic ducts in kings was higher than that in female and male alates, respectively. Ovary volume in queens was significantly bigger than that in female alates. The shape of ovary changed from ovoid to oblong when the female alates became queens. In addition, spermary volume in kings was significantly bigger than that in male alates, but there was not obviously different in spermatic shape between them.
