Homologies. As in other animals, the reproductive or- 

 gans are homologous in the two sexes. Thus : 



MALE. FEMALE. 



Testes = Ovaries 

 Seminal ducts = Oviducts 

 Ejaculatory duct = Vagina 



Seminal vesicle = Seminal receptacle 

 Accessory glands = Accessory glands

Male Organs. Each testis, though sometimes a single 

 blind tube, is usually a group of tubes or sacs (Fig. 178), 

 testicular follicles, which open into a seminal duct (vas defer-

 into a single mass (Fig. 179) as also in Acridiidae. The two 

 seminal ducts enter the common ejaculatory duct, which ter-
