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 ...

American Asteraceae-feeding Astrotischeria species with a highly modified, three-lobed valva in the male genitalia (Lepidoptera, Tischeriidae).

Zootaxa, 2018
We review eleven Astrotischeria Puplesis Diškus (Lepidoptera: Tischeriidae) species which possess a novel character for the Tischeriidae family: a highly modified valva of the male genitalia with one ventral and two dorsal lobes (or processes).

A new genus of Afrotropical Lasiocampini: Revaya gen. n. (Lepidoptera, Lasiocampidae, Lasiocampinae).

Zootaxa, 2023
A new genus Revaya gen. n. with Revaya yahya sp. n. (type-species) and Revaya edita sp. n. are described. A detailed diagnosis for the new genus is provided and compared with three closely related genera: Catalebeda Aurivillius, 1902; Ptyssophlebia Berio,

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.

From molecular data to natural history: a new species of Apatelodes (Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea: Apatelodidae) from southern Brazil

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2022
Apatelodidae is a family of Neotropical bombycoids that is still poorly studied in several aspects. Besides being relatively large moths and abundant in light traps, only sources of information on the natural history of the family have been published ...

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,

Sattleria enrosadira sp. nov., a new cryptic, high alpine species from Northern Italy revealed by DNA barcodes and morphology (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae).

Zootaxa, 2022
Sattleria karsholti Huemer Hebert, 2011 is re-examined based on recently collected material, museum vouchers, and DNA barcodes. Adult and male genitalia morphology and molecular data of the COI barcode region support the existence of two allopatric ...
