Unique Secondary “Accessory Glands” in the Female Genitalia of Dalceridae (Lepidoptera)
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1993Female genitalia of Dalceridae have paired lateral glands unlike those of any other Lepidoptera. These secondary “accessory glands” differ from those of other Lepidoptera in having their external openings on the outer side of the papillae anales and in the two members of the gland pair not being connected.

Morphology of the Male Genitalia of Lepidoptera I. Ditrysia
Insect Systematics & Evolution, 1974AbstractFrom the literature on onthogenesis it is concluded, that male genitalia with two pairs of appendices must be considered primitive. The male genitalia of a number of species from three families (Cossidae, Saturniidae, Brahmaeidae) in which the male genitalia comprise two pair of appendices, valvae and valvellae, were dissected.

Two Techniques for Dissecting and Mounting Genitalia of Male Butterflies (Lepidoptera)
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1970The 1st technique described is an efficient variation of an accepted method of dissecting butterfly genitalia; the 2nd technique is a new general method for mounting genitalia. The latter technique is described for butterfly genitalia but has proved useful for other insects as well.

Male Genitalia Muscles in the Afrotropical Subfamily Lipteninae (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae)
Entomological Review, 2019The muscles of the male genitalia were studied for the first time in representatives of 3 tribes of the Afrotropical endemic subfamily Lipteninae (Lycaenidae): Larinopoda tera (Hewitson, 1873) (Liptenini), Cephetola viridana (Joicey and Talbot, 1921) (Epitolini), Pentila tachyroides (Dewitz, 1879), P. tropicalis (Boisduval, 1847), P.

On the Development of the Male Genitalia and the Efferent Genital Ducts in Lepidoptera
Journal of Cell Science, 1933ABSTRACTA general account of the internal reproductive organs and the external genitalia and their development is given.The ‘penis lobes’ develop earlier than the ‘valvae lobes ‘, and independently of them.The tegumen is the modified ninth tergite. The tenth segment is visibly distinguished into a tergal and sternal part in the pupal stages, and the ...

Skeletomuscular anatomy of the male genitalia of Epimartyria (Lepidoptera: Micropterigidae)
Insect Systematics & Evolution, 1984AbstractThe skeletomuscular anatomy of the male genital segments of E. pardella is described. The anteroventrally produced segment IX ring and bilobed tergum X are attributed to the ground plan of the Sabatinca group of genera. The gonopod base bears a prominent dorsomedian process.

Musculature of the Adult Tobacco Hornworm (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) Abdomen and Genitalia
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1984This is a description of the exoskeleton and musculature of the abdomen of the adult tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae). In both sexes segments 1 and 2 are specialized for movement of the abdomen. Segments 3 through 6 are similar and have a generalized structure.

The male genitalia of Agathiphaga (Lepidoptera: Agathiphagidae) and the lepidopteran ground plan
Insect Systematics & Evolution, 1984AbstractThe genital segments and internal genitalia of Agathiphaga vitiensis are described. Sternum VIII is anteriorly produced into blunt paired apophyses and posteriorly into a tongue-shaped lobe. Segment IX is a complete ring, very short in the dorsal and ventral midlines; its anterolateral lobes are largely apodemal.
