 Spiders - About the reproductive organs
These organs are found on the ends of the pedipalps (or palps), a pair of short, leg-like limbs between the jaws and the first leg.
The last segment (tarsus) is transformed into a large, articulated sperm-holding reservoir and mating organ (the bulb) often cradled within a hollow in the tarsus, now called the cymbium.
Both the structure of the external epigynum and the internal ducts and spermathecae vary between species and are very useful for the taxonomic identification of spiders.

The opaline gland is an irregular, granular, white gland that is visible externally in the floor of the mantle cavity in the vicinity of the gonopore (Fig 1, 12-36A).
The duct from gonopore to ovotestis is the hermaphroditic duct and it is divided into proximal and distal portions (Fig 4, 12-59B).
During copulation the penis of one individual is inserted into the gonopore of its partner and the gonopore of the former receives the penis of the latter or of yet a third individual (Fig 12-59A).

 Glosiphoniidae APPENDIX
The male gonopore is situated in the groove between XIa3 and XIIa1 and the female gonopore lies between a2 and a3 of somite XII.
Gonopores are separated by two annuli and eyes are in four pairs on II, III, IV, V (Klemm, 1982, Sawyer, 1986).
Gonopores are separated by two annuli (male: XI/XII, and female XII a2/a3), salivary glands are diffuse, and six pairs of testisacs are intersegmentally arranged from XII/XIV to XVIII/XIX (Oosthuizen and Davies, 1992).

 Spiders - About the reproductive organs
In male and female spiders the genital opening (gonopore) is found beneath the front part of the abdomen at the middle of a transverse groove running between the book-lungs.
In all male spiders, the small abdominal gonopore from which sperm is discharged is completely separate from the actual mating organs.
As they are laid, eggs passing from the female's uterus to the gonopore through the vagina are fertilised via a short fertilisation duct that passes between the spermathecae and the vagina.

Nearby are the spout-like hydropore and the pyramid-covered gonopore.
The hydropore and gonopore complex in callocystitids is positioned between three oral plates.
The gonopore is the small hole between the hydropores and is often preserved covered with a pyramid of small plates.

 Palaeos Metazoa: Deuterostomia: Homalozoa: Cincta
A small opening behind the mouth represents the hydropore, perhaps combined with the gonopore.
Other authors would interpret the pyramidal opening as the gonopore, and the central and left openings would be the mouth and anus, with differing interpretations as to which was which.
A biramous ambulacrum is lodged in grooves recumbent on the anterior side of the theca.

Because the male gonopore opens at the base of the fifth walking leg, the sex of an individual can easily be determined by examining the position of the gonopore.
Spawning is the passage of oocytes from the ovary, through the oviduct and gonopore to the exterior of the female.
As the oocytes leave the gonopore, they travel over the ventral surface of the female and move into the brood chamber where they attach to the ovigerous setae on the pleopods (swimmerets).

 Urban IPM: Scorpions and Scorpion-Like: Solpugids
No spermatophore is produced by the male; instead a sperm droplet is transferred from the substrate to the female gonopore (genital opening) by means of the male's chelicerae.
In one southwestern species, the male turns the female on her back, emits seminal fluid directly into the female gonopore, then tamps it in with his chelicerae.
After mating, the female constructs a burrow and nest in the ground, where she lays 50-200 eggs.

 [Odonata-l] On wheel position   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Dear friends: I would like to know your opinion as to why dragonflies copulate in the wheel position.
My explanation to students has been that, since the male grasps the female with his cerci, the female=B4s head covers the male=B4s gonopore so that she can=B4t reach it with her own at mating time.
Therefore, odonate males have secondary genitalia at the beginning of abdomen so that females can reach the genitalia with their own gonopore and get the sperm.
