A male black fly of Simulium (Simulium) iwatense (Shiraki) (Diptera: Simuliidae with genitalia-like appendages on abdominal segment 8

A rare non-sex mosaic abnormality represented by genitalia-like appendages on the ventral surface of abdominal segment 8 of a male black fly collected in Hokkaido, Japan, is reported. The appendages consist of a pair of style-like projections each arising from a coxite-like base, inverted-Y shaped v...
