Abstract

Spermathecae of 72 species of the genus Stolas Billberg, 1820 have been studied and figured. Spermathecae of particular species are characterized by a set of constant and distinct characters and in many cases they are also diagnostic on species group level. Correlation was observed between some species groups created on the basis of external characters and structure of their Spermathecae.
