The male accessory gland substance is shown to be involved in the fertility of eggs for the first time inAedes aegyptiandCulex pipiens fatigans. Surgical removal of the paired accessory glands of males did not impair their mating ability. However, the eggs laid by the females after mating with operated males were found to be sterile. This condition could be reversed if the accessory gland substance was later received by the females. Evidence suggests that the accessory gland substance is essential for fertilization.
