2.1. Gross anatomy analysis
Adult males of D. baccarum were collected in June–July 2008,
from steppe areas between Kırs¸ ehir and Adana, Turkey. Adult males
were killed with ethyl acetate fumes and dissected in 70% ethyl alcohol under a stereo microscope. For the morphological analysis,the dorsal cuticle was first removed from the prothorax to the last full-sized abdominal segments. Subsequently, the epidermis
and the digestive system were removed. Two insect pins were inserted laterally through the last full-sized sternite to spread apart the abdomen and to expose the base of the reproductive system attached to the genital segments. The gross morphology of
the reproductive systems of the females were examined and photographed with a Leica EZ4D stereomicroscope.
