processes (shown in fig. 105-108). Only in E. capensis: moiphology of right phallomere 

 (shown schematically in fig. 330m). 



For Eiiphyllodromia angustata and Supella longipalpa (Blattellidae, Plectopterinae), 

 Loboptera decipiens (Blattellidae, Blattellinae), Ectobiiis sylvestris (Blattellidae, 

 Ectobiinae), Nyctibora sp. (Blattellidae, Nyctiborinae), and Byrsotria fiimigata, Blaptica 

 sp. and Nauphoeta cinerea (Blaberidae): Central part of left complex with sclerite L2, Ive- 

 pouch, and via-process (all species; shown in fig. 328c, d,f,g,h,i and 291, 292; no figures 

 for Byrsotria). Morphology of right phallomere (all species except Ectobius, Loboptera, 

 Nauphoeta\ shown in fig.330o,r and 318, 319; no figures for Supella). Presence and special 

 condition of some further elements of left complex: hge-groove, notch 45 (elements of 

 hla-hook, compare fig. 266), ate-tendon with its sclerite L4V (no figures). 



6. HOMOLOGY RELATIONS AND CHARACTER STATES 



In this chapter a homology hypothesis will be elaborated for the phallomere and 

 postabdominal elements of the investigated species. This hypothesis should be as detailed 

 as possible, and it should be provided with as many arguments as possible. The following 

 list gives a survey which elements are discussed in which section. For the first five sections 

 (left complex I-V) the discussed elements are listed. Which elements are contained in the

Fig.320: Male postabdomen and phallomere complex in median sagitto-longitudinal section. Left 

 view; anterior^, posteriori. Only the cuticle is shown: Thin lines are membranous, thick lines are 

 sclerotised cuticle. Styles and paraprocts are shown though they are not visible in a median section.
