Abstract

Mating, fertilization, reproduction, ovoviviparity, and oviposition of Leiodinychus krameri (G. and R. Canestrini) are discussed. Mating is described in 3 phases: (1) the premating or exploratory phase, (2) formation of the sperm packet and its attachment to the female, and (3) assimilation of the sperm packet by the female, and post mating behavior. Several case histories illustrating un-usual procedures are discussed, as is competition between the sexes.
