The paper presents unknown ultrastructure observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and stereo microscope of aedeagus and spermatheca morphologies of Galeruca tanaceti tanaceti Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Türkiye. This species, which is an important subfamily where the evolution between plants and insects is studied and is recognized as an important biological control agent, was collected in Çankırı in 2015.The genus Galeruca Geoffroy, 1762 includes 62 species in the Palaeartic Region, while it is represented by 13 species in Türkiye. As known, aedeagus and spermatheca morphologies are taxonomically important structures. Before the present study, however, there are no work on these structures of Galeruca tanaceti tanaceti Linnaeus, 1758. For this reason, ultrastructural and detailed investigations of aedeagus morphology of Galeruca tanaceti tanaceti Linnaeus, 1758 from Türkiye were firstly studied with SEM to contain male and female genital descriptions of Galeruca tanaceti tanaceti Linnaeus, 1758. Photos in SEM and stereo microscope are also given in the text.
