Evolutionary functional morphology of the proboscis and feeding apparatus of hawk moths (Sphingidae: Lepidoptera). [PDF]

J Morphol, 2022
The morphology of the proboscis and associated feeding organs was studied in several nectar‐feeding hawk moths, as well as a specialized honey‐feeder and two supposedly nonfeeding species. The proboscis of nectar‐feeding Sphingidae displays uniformous tip morphology. A novel piercing proboscis is described in a honey‐feeding hawk moth.
