Zusammenfassung

Von normalenLeucophaea-Weibchen werden etwa 90% nach der Adulthäutung innerhalb von 4 Wochen begattet, von allatektomierten Weibchen unter gleichen Zuchtbedingungen nur etwa 30%. Wurden allatektomierten Weibchen 26 Tage post operationem aktive Corpora allata reimplantiert, so kopulierten 82% innerhalb von 12 Tagen. Kastrierte Weibchen zeigten Normalverhalten.

Die Wirkung der Allatektomie auf die Kopulationsbereitschaft wird diskutiert.
