spermathecum [FBbt_00004921]
A bilaterally paired, mushroom-shaped organ consisting of a capsule connected to the uterus by a slender duct. The capsule is an, inverted, double-walled bowl, the outer wall of which is a layer of cuboidal epithelium and the inner wall of which is chitinous intima secreted by the epithelium. After copulation, the lumen of the capsule is filled with a concentrically coiled mass of the spermatozoa.
