(Received 26th October 196::.)
External sexual dim<lrphism is common in Coleoptpra and, if not apparent in
the adult, is usually to be found ill the pupa in the form of the genital appendages.

is not reliable as some dearee ot overlap usually occurs.
The aim of this pape; is to bring togeth~r the klJ()\l"ll eharaeters for sexing the
adults ot stored-products beetles, and for sexihg. the pupae where adult secondary
sexual characters are apparently absent.
.---
Sexual differences in the pupal stage.
The apex of the pupal abdomen may bear two pairs of processes (fig. 14),
one, arising dorsally, representing the lan'al urogomphi. and the other, arising
ventrally, associated with the external genitalia. The former pair is not always
present but the latter pair, the genital apppndages, is u>;ually present and indicates
the sex of the pupa.
In the male, the genib1.1 appemlages are sometime::! represented by only slight
protuberances, as in Ahasver1l8 advena (\Yaltl), bllt generally they take the form
of distinct but short papilliform appendages. either two-segmented or witho1lt
apparent segmentation. The papillae are often convergent: they are never as
protuberant as those of the female.
In the female, with the t'xception of some Tenebrionids (fig. 17), the genital
appendages are always distinct and papilliforlll. The papillae arp, always stron~ly
protuberant and often three-segmented.
Generally they are divergent but in
some species they are pa1'a11",1.
As a rule. therefore, the female pupa may hr rl'adil.v distinguished from the
male by its strongly protuberant and di\'erging genital appendages.
Sexual differences in stored'products Coleoptera.
The sexual differences found in species attacking stored products are tabulated
by families (Table I).
\Vhere figures have been redrawn from publisheu works, reference to the source
is giVim in the legend to the figure.
