Descrição: dc.descriptionSpecies of the Brazilian cave barklouse genus Neotrogla (Psocodea: “Psocoptera”: Trogiomorpha: Prionoglarididae: Sensitibillini) are known to have a “female penis (gynosome)” that functions as an intromittent organ inserted into the membranous pouches in the simple male genital chamber during copulation to receive semen. However, the functions of other male and female genital structures and the copulatory processes of Neotrogla were completely unknown to date. Based on µCT observation of the male and female postabdomen and connected muscles both before and in copula, we clarified the functions of the male and female genital structures. In addition, based on the analyses of the established 3D models, we concluded that precise and rigid contact of multiple genital structures, and step-by-step releases of each holding mechanism achieved by the cooperation of both sexes are involved in the copulatory processes. The coevolution between the male and female genital structures in Neotrogla may provide a new example for the evolution of tolerance traits.-
