• In Bombyx mori, the spermatozoa remain inactive within the post-testicular male organs when not ejaculated by the copulation. On ejaculation, the spermatozoa become active by the influence of the prostatic secretion poured on them. This fact was experimentally ascertained by the writer (Omura 1938). It is at present called spermato-prostatic reaction as a matter of convenience. Similar behavior of spermatozoa is known to occur in some other Lepidopteran insects, being, however, somewhat different from the Bombycian case. The writer intended, therefore, to ascertain what physiological variation in regard to the behavior of spermatozoa is Shown by various species of Lepidopteran insects.
