    Notes: Abstract The sexcombs were amputated from males of three strains ofDrosophila melanogaster and one strain ofD. simulans in order to assess the importance of these structures in the sexual behavior of these species. InD. melanogaster the sexcombs are important in attempts to copulate with the female. Their removal delays copulation but does not suppress it entirely. Other aspects of courtship are not influenced by removal of the sexcombs. Strain differences in quantitative aspects of courtship were found, and also in the insemination rates of females by males without sexcombs. The present evidence suggests that the sexcombs are primarily structures adapted to grasping the female securely during the act of intromission.
