摘要：

When the spermathecal muscle of a virgin female Chelymorpha alternans Boheman (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was cut, the number of spermatozoa transferred in a single mating to the spermatheca and the spermathecal duct was not affected, but their distribution differed. Cutting the spermathecal muscle also reduced egg fertility. Eggs from females with a cut muscle showed a lower average percentage fertilization. Longer delays in oviposition after removal of the spermathecal muscle were associated with higher proportions of infertile eggs.
