Abstract

The male and female genital morphologies of the tribe Aphractini are presented in this study. Four species are included: Aphractus acuminatus, Paraphractus abbreviatus, Polycleptidella chilensis and Polycleptis scutellifera. A dichotomous key to the genera is provided. The lengths between the female spermathecal duct and titillatory articulated processes are similar within species but differ between them. Therefore, we propose that the function of these organs could be associated with the sperm removal strategy.

男性和女性的生殖器形态的部落Aphractini提出了这项研究。包括4种:尖爪蟾、短爪蟾、智利多爪蟾和scutellifera多爪蟾。提供了该属的二分键。雌性精管和刺激关节突之间的长度在种内相似，但在种间不同。因此，我们认为这些器官的功能可能与精子移除策略有关。
