Animal terminalia represent some of the most diverse and rapidly evolving structures in the animal kingdom, and for this reason have been a mainstay in the taxonomic description of species. The terminalia of Drosophila melanogaster, with its wide range of experimental tools, have recently become the focus of increased interest in the fields of development, evolution, and behavior. However, studies from different disciplines have often used discrepant terminologies for the same anatomical structures. Consequently, the terminology of genital parts has become a barrier to integrating results from different fields, rendering it difficult to determine what parts are being referenced. We formed a consortium of researchers studying the genitalia of D. melanogaster to help establish a set of naming conventions. Here, we present a detailed visual anatomy of male genital parts, including a list of synonymous terms, and suggest practices to avoid confusion when referring to anatomical parts in future studies. The goal of this effort is to facilitate interdisciplinary communication and help newcomers orient themselves within the exciting field of Drosophila genitalia.

果蝇雄性终端的标准化命名法和图谱。

动物终端代表了动物界中一些最多样化和快速进化的结构，因此一直是物种分类学描述的支柱。果蝇的终端凭借其广泛的实验工具，最近成为发育、进化和行为领域日益关注的焦点。然而，不同学科的研究经常对相同的解剖结构使用不同的术语。因此，生殖器部位的术语已成为整合不同领域结果的障碍，导致很难确定所引用的部位。我们成立了一个由研究黑腹果蝇生殖器的研究人员组成的联盟，以帮助建立一套命名约定。在这里，我们展示了男性生殖器部位的详细视觉解剖学，包括同义词列表，并提出了在未来研究中提及解剖部位时避免混淆的做法。这项工作的目标是促进跨学科交流，并帮助新来者在果蝇生殖器这个令人兴奋的领域中定位自己。
