Abstract

Females of Diplolepis rosae introduce their ovipositors between the developing leaflets of an expanding bud of Rosa and attach their eggs singly to epidermal cells. The anatomy of the ovipositor is described in relation to the oviposition behavior. SEM and optical microscopic observations of the ovipositor are described, as are the relationships between the sheath and the 2 stylets. Changes in the shape of the eggs as they pass down the ovipositor are also described.

Résumé

La femelle de Diplolepis rosae introduit son ovipositeur entre les écailles et les feuilles du bourgeon d'églantier en train de débourrer et fixe chaque oeuf dans une cellule épidermique qui meurt rapidement. L'ovipositeur de cet insecte est parfaitement adapté à ce comportement de ponte précis. Les observations au microscope optique et au microscope électronique à balayage montrent les structures fines et les relations entre la gaine et les 2 stylets. Cet article décrit aussi les déformations subies par les oeufs pour pouvoir traverser le canal de l'ovipositeur.
