Creator Transcript
  • Goldstream Lake. V.I. [Vancouver Island] May 21/40 [1940] Notes on Lipoptena [underlined] Three [female symbol]'s discharged black puparia shortly after removal from the host. In one discharge took about 10 seconds. All three puparia were black before discharge + at "birth" had a small eliptical white area on each side just above the site of row of pores. These areas became black within a few hours. One female discharged a white larva. Pupation took about 30 minutes. Dissected 3 [female symbol]'s taken in copula. By severing the penis of the male before dissection + leaving the organ in the vagina it is possible to make a quick + effective dissection. None of the females were already pregnant as had hitherto been supposed. The distended appearance of copulating [female symbol]'s is caused by the exceptionally large penis. See Pattar + Crag. - suggests that only [male symbol]'s have wings. I don't think so.
