Abstract
⺠Reproductive accessory gland morphology is described in eight species of Chagas disease vectors. ⺠Comparison employs the same morphological techniques to describe living tissue. ⺠Males possess an accessory gland complex having the same number and types of glands. ⺠Females have spermathecae unique to the species providing a mechanism for cryptic female choice. ⺠This morphological comparison suggests that control methods targeting male reproduction may affect more than one vector species.
