STUDIES ON Humbertiella Ceylonica SAUSSURE (DICTYOPTERA: MANTIDAE) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE NUMBER OF OVARIOLES IN THE SEASONAL CYCLES

Abstract

The structure and number of ovarioles of adult female mantids Humbertiella ceylonica Saussure revealed that the position on the ovarioles changed during the developmental changes related to the oocyte maturity; rainy and summer seasons favoured higher egg production, while body length and season had no correlation with the number of ovarioles.

Keywords: Mantids, Ovarioles
