A gonopore, sometimes called a gonadopore, is a genital pore in some invertebrates and especially some insects.
For insects, it is the opening of the genital duct. More specifically, in the unmodified female it is the opening of the common oviduct, and in the male, it is the opening of the ejaculatory duct.
