Sexual Selection Within the Female Genitalia in Lepidoptera
2015The 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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Morphology of the genitalia of Scandinavian brachypterous female Geometridae (Lepidoptera)
Insect Systematics & Evolution, 1980AbstractThe genitalia of 13 brachypterous female geometrids are described, of which 12 have not previously been fully described: Operophtera brumata (Linné, 1758), (previously described by Wolff 1964), O. fagata Scharfenberg, 1805, Alsophila aescularia (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1776), Theria rupicapraria (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1776) (by ...

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.

Morphology of the Male Genitalia of Lepidoptera II. Monotrysia, Zeugloptera, and Discussion
Insect Systematics & Evolution, 1974AbstractThe male genitalia of species of Monotrysia (Hepialidae) and of Zeugloptera have been examined, and a number of primitive traits demonstrated. The anatomical structures of these suborders have been compared to those of Ditrysia and of Dachnonypha, and an attempt of reconstructing the ancestral male terminalia of Lepidoptera has been made.
