6. Donacia (Donaciomima) splendens hiurai

Aedeagus ( Fig. 14 ): Median lobe slender, apical part of median lobe expanded; ventral edge of median orifice projecting at obtuse angle; median foramen expanding apical 1/3 of ventral surface of median lobe. Tegmen in ventrum forming triangular lobe in lateral view and in dorsum forming slender lobe in dorsal view.

Male internal reproductive system ( Fig. 26 ): Testis discoid in shape, milky white in color. Accessory glands tubular; of a pair of accessory glands, shorter gland about half length to and longer gland 2/3 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined. Lateral ejaculatory duct claviform, a little over 1/2 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined; common ejaculatory duct a little less than 2.5 times as long as maximal width of 2 testis lobes combined.

Female internal reproductive system ( Figs. 44, 45 , 64–66 ): Spermathecal organ connected to bursa copulatrix ventro-apically. Spermathecal capsule hook- to sickle-shaped, tapering toward apex, light yellowish brown in color; spermathecal wall relatively thick apically and proximally; spermathecal duct uniform in width, about 3/4 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule; spermathecal gland tubular, 4–5 times as long as maximal length of spermathecal capsule.
