Abstract
The digestive and reproductive systems of 5 North African species, representing 5 genera, are described and discussed. Sitaris has only 4 malpighian tubules instead of the 6 found in other blister beetles. Rusadiria (Coryna auct.) shows a branched third pair of male accessory glands. The genera Rusadiria, Lagorina, and Sitaris are assigned to the tribes Mylabrini, Lyttini, and Nemognathini, respectively, on the basis of their internal anatomical features; the relationships of Oenas and Zonitis were discussed by the author in an earlier paper.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
