Comparative morphology and taxonomic significance of variations

This discussion concerns general descriptions of the alimentary canal and mesodermal reproductive organs. It is not possible to make any comments about the central nervous system and brain, which has not been extensively studied in the Cleridae . Opitz illustrated the ventral nerve cord and brain of Aphelocerus coactus Opitz ( Opitz, 2005: 22) and Necrobia violacea Linnaeus ( Opitz, 2011b: 51) . This work also includes opinions about the taxonomic significance of some of the differences noted in the alimentary canal and mesodermal reproductive organs. The comparative and taxonomic discussion includes information gleaned from previously published works as noted in Opitz (2010a) .

General morphology- Alimentary canal. The gross morphology of the alimentary canal consists of a stomodaeum, ventriculus, cryptonephridial malpighian tubules, and proctodaeum ( Fig. 242 ). The stomodaeum includes a distinct pharynx ( Fig. 243 ), a well-developed esophagus ( Fig. 244 ), and a usually muscular proventriculus ( Fig. 245 ). The pharyngeal intima exhibits several folds that eventually transform into a distinct number of primary and secondary folds in the proventriculus. Intimal spines are numerous in the pharynx, scarce in the anterior region of the esophagus, long and stout and posterior region of the esophagus and anterior region of the stomodaeum. The stomodaeal valve ( Fig. 246 ) consists of lobes that vary in size, shape, and number, but their position in the valve is constant among the taxa examined.

The ventriculus ( Fig. 247 ) is well developed and may be smooth, papillose, or with small transverse wrinkles. Between the ventriculus and the proctodaeum there are the malpighian tubules which attach to the posterior region of the ileum. In the proctodaeum, the pylorus is short and muscular and is marked anteriorly by a 6-lobed pyloric valve ( Fig. 248 ). The anterior intestine is divided into a well-defined ileum and a distally broadened colon. The posterior intestine is composed of a well-developed rectal sac and an elongate rectum proper, which is twice as long in the female as in the male (a morphological development to enable the female to extend her lengthy ovipositor out of the abdomen). The proctodaeal intima shows numerous small folds in the pylorus and 6 larger folds in the colon ( Fig. 249 ). The folds terminate in the region of the rectal valve. The rectal intima exhibits small folds anteriorly and long slender folds posteriorly ( Fig. 250 ). Information about the alimentary canal of the Cleridae , as part of taxonomic revisions, was published recently by Ekis (1977b) and Opitz (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009a, 2009b, 2010b, 2011a, 2011b, 2012)

General morphology-Reproductive organs. When fully developed, the male reproductive organs consist of a pair of testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, usually two pairs of accessory glands, and the ejaculatory duct ( Fig. 252 ). The number of testicular follicles per testis varies as does the number of accessory glands and shape of seminal vesicle. The term multifollicular is used to indicate that the testis has more than one follicle; this to distinguish from the singular follicle testis as found in most Tillinae . The female organs ( Fig. 251 ) consist of a pair of ovarioles, lateral oviduct, medial oviduct, bursa copulatrix, spermathecal capsule, spermathecal gland, and the vagina. In some species the base of the bursa copulatrix shows a bursal plate ( Fig. 148 ). There is substantial variation in the number of follicles that constitute the ovary, shape and composition of the spermathecal capsule, attachment site of the spermathecal gland to the capsule, length of the spermathecal gland, and in the presence or absence of a saccular bursa copulatrix.

Taxonomic implications-Alimentary canal. A very long stomodaeum occurs in Somatochaetus Menier and Ekis , Metaxina Broun , and Katachaetosoma Opitz , of Chaetosomatidae , and Thaneroclerus of Thaneroclerinae , and Ababa Casey of Isoclerinae, of the Cleridae . The elongated condition of the stomodaeum was considered a primitive characteristic by Crowson (1972: 340) and Opitz (2010a: 116) . All other Cleridae studied to date show a reduced foregut, presumably a manifestation of the loss of the crop ( Crowson, 1972: 340). The number of stomodaeal lobes that comprises the stomodaeal valve varies at subfamily level. Primitively there are 8 lobes in Thaneroclerinae and Tillinae whereas the derived condition, involving less than 8 folds, is found in the other subfamilies ( Opitz, 2010a: 98 ). The development of the ventricular papillae varies at subfamily level. They are primitively poorly developed in the Thaneroclerinae , Isoclerinae, Epiphloeinae , Enopliinae , Peloniinae, Tarsosteninae , and Neorthopleurinae. Their well-developed, derived, state is found in the Tillinae , Clerinae , Hydnocerinae , and Korynetinae . Presence of 6 malpighian tubules is the primitive condition found in most of Tillinae , Clerinae , Hydnocerinae , and Korynetinae , whereas in the Thaneroclerinae , Isoclerinae, Neorthopleurinae, Epiphloeinae , Peloniinae, Enopliinae , Tarsosteninae , there are 4 tubules, which reflects the derived condition for this character.

Taxonomic implications-Reproductive organs. Some characteristics of the male and female mesodermal reproductive organs are particularly taxonomically useful at the generic and species- group levels ( Opitz 2010a: 51 ). In nearly every species of Tillinae examined, the testis is comprising one follicle and the median accessory gland exhibits a central longitudinal dark streak ( Fig. 154 ). A similar dark streak is found in the spermatophoral accessory glands of antophilic species of Clerinae ( Opitz, 2003) . The spermathecal capsule is bifid and the bursa copulatrix is not saccular in tilline females ( Fig. 158 ). Also, at the base of the bursa there is a bursal plate whose configuration is significant at the species level ( Fig. 159 ). In the Hydnocerinae , the males of Isohydnocera Chapin and Phyllobaenus Dejean are characterized by having only one pair of accessory glands ( Fig. 12 ) that are extraordinarily long ( Fig. 12 ), and in most species of Phyllobaenus Dejean the spermathecal capsule is round and heavily sclerotized ( Fig. 29 ). A saccular bursa copulatrix in not present in all hydnocerine examined. In the Clerinae genus Enoclerus Gahan the mode of bifurcation of the medial accessory glands are taxonomically significant at species-group levels. In various species of subfamily Peloniinae the spermathecal capsule is transversally wrinkled ( Fig. 206 ). A bursal plate is found in the Peloniinae genus Pelonium Spinola. The spermathecal gland is extraordinarily long and the bursal plate is present in the Korynetinae genus Parapylus Blackburn. Information about the mesodermal reproductive organs of the Cleridae , as part of taxonomic revisions, was published recently by Ekis (1977a, 1977b), Ekis (1978), Opitz (1998, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009a, 2009b, 2009c, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c, 2011a, 2011b, and 2012), and Yang, et. al. (2011).
