Özet: Spermathecal structure of five species [Campiglossa producta (Loew, 1844), Campiglossa tessellata (Loew, 1844), Euaresta bullans (Wiedemann, 1830), Tephritis formosa (Loew, 1844), Tephritis nigricauda (Loew, 1856)] from subfamily Tephritinae were examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. The specimens were collected between 1999 and 2013 from various provinces of Turkey. Spermathecae were coated in gold/palladium with a Emitech SC 7620 Sputter Coater and examined with a Jeol 6390 LV scanning electron microscope (SEM) operated at 10 kV. Spermathecal structures were characterized as spermathecal bulb, pumping region and spermathecal channel. Descriptions of the spermathecal structures, size of spermathecal bulb, aspect ratio of spermathecal bulb and SEM micrographs of spermathecae are presented for each species.
