Alternative techniques to study characters of the genitalia in Lepidoptera [PDF]

open access: yesNeotropical Entomology, 2010
The present note aims to describe two alternative methods for observing genitalia in Lepidoptera. The first one provides means to examine both male and female genitalia without spoiling the scales of the abdomen, preserving it attached to the thorax and aesthetically similar to an unexamined specimen.

Sexual Selection Within the Female Genitalia in Lepidoptera

2015
The genitalia of male and female Lepidoptera are complex organs, composed of several structures that exhibit great diversity of shapes, sizes, and positions, suggesting that they have evolved in a relatively rapid and divergent way. In this chapter, we explore the selective pressures responsible for the evolution of genital morphology in the ...

The Comparative Morphology of the Male Genitalia of the Primitive Lepidoptera.*

open access: yesAnnals of the Entomological Society of America, 1924
The primitive Lepidoptera discussed in this paper include the Jugate Lepidoptera, (Hepialidae and Prototheoridae), the Jugo-frenate Lepidoptera, (Mnesarchaeidae, Micropterygidae, and Eriocraniidae), and the Frenate superfamilies Tineoidea, Euceleoidea, and Bombycoidea.[†][1] The object in this discussion is to compare the male genitalia of these groups

Male Genitalia Muscles of the Blues’ Tribe Miletini (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae: Miletinae)

Entomological Review, 2021
The skeleto-muscular characters of the male genitalia in three species of the tribe Miletini have been compared in order to establish its phylogenetic position and to clarify the relationships between the genera. The muscles of the male genitalia are described for the first time in Allotinus substrigosus (Moore, 1884), Miletus chinensis C. Felder, 1862,

Allometry of male genitalia in a lepidopteran species, Ostrinia latipennis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

open access: yesApplied Entomology and Zoology, 2003
In species of several insect orders and spiders, it has been shown that the size of male genitalia relative to body size decreases as the body becomes larger (negative allometry), while the relative size of other morphological traits tends to be constant.

A procedure for combined genitalia dissection and DNA extraction in Lepidoptera

Insect Systematics & Evolution, 2004
AbstractExtraction of DNA from Lepidoptera is a destructive procedure and curators are often reluctant to provide museum specimens for molecular investigations. On the other hand, dissection of abdomens and genitalia is a standard procedure for description and identification of species and generally accepted even for type material.
