Reproduction in Cockroach

  • Cockroaches are dioecious. The male and female reproductive organs are present in different organisms. 
  • Both sexes have well-developed reproductive organs. 

Male Reproductive System

  • It consists of a pair of testes one lying on each lateral side in the 4th-6th abdominal segments.
  • From each testis arises a thin vas deferens, which opens into the ejaculatory duct through the seminal vesicle. 
  • The ejaculatory duct opens into the male gonopore situated ventral to the anus.
  • A characteristic mushroom-shaped gland is present in the 6th-7th abdominal segments which functions as an accessory reproductive gland.
  • The external genitalia is represented by male gonapophysis or phallomere (chitinous asymmetrical structures, surrounding the male gonopore).
  • The sperms are stored in the seminal vesicles and are glued together in the form of bundles called spermatophores which are discharged during copulation.
