Abstract
Because of the economic importance of the solitary carpenter moth, Paropta paradoxa (Herrich-Schaffer) and leopard moth, Zeuzera pyrina (L.) (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) on grapevine, fig, apple, olive, pear trees, the male and female reproductive systems were described and illustrated. They are similar to that of the other lepidopterous insects with a little variation. Accessory glands are longer and its reservoirs are larger compared with several species of Lepidoptera. Concerning P. paradoxa and Z. pyrina species, the most differences include accessory glands, accessory gland reservoirs, length and shape of male genitalia and aedeagus tips.
