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 ...

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.

A procedure for combined genitalia dissection and DNA extraction in Lepidoptera
Insect Systematics & Evolution, 2004AbstractExtraction 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
