Female genitalia of Pero obtusaria Prout, 1928 (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Revista Brasileira De Entomologia, 2019 The female genitalia of Pero obtusaria Prout, 1928 (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) are described and illustrated for the first time and compared to congenerics. The antrum with the dorsal part sculptured with two sinuous longitudinal stripes enables the identification of this species.

Variation in the genitalia of the butterfly Maniola jurtina (Lepidoptera: Satyrinae) [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1993 The genilalia of animals, particularly insects, are extremely useful taxonomic characters, for they are highly conserved within species yet generally diverge rapidly during specialion: often the only reliable means of separating sibling species is via the morphology of the genilalia.

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

The Comparative Morphology of the Male Genitalia of the Primitive Lepidoptera.*
Annals 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 variability in Craniophora ligustri (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Acronictinae)
Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, 2017 Craniophora ligustri is the most widely distributed species within the genus Craniophora. We used geometric morphometry to assess the shape variation of male valvae in the Western Palaearctic and Russian Far East populations of C. ligustri including the subspecies C. l. carbolucana and C. l. hyrcanica.

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

The male genitalia segments in fritillary butterflies: Comparative morphology with special reference to the "rectal plate" in Issoria (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) [PDF]
Zoologica Scripta, 2006 The histology and internal morphology of the male valve in a broad sample of Fritillary butterflies are examined. A large internal ridge to which the extensor of the valve muscle fastens is probably an autapomorphy for the tribe Argynnini. A large glandular pocket is found in the valves of all examined Heliconiinae, but is missing in other examined ...
