The lock-and-key mechanisms of the internal genitalia of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): How are they selected for? [PDF]

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
In the Noctuidae, the owlet moths, the internal genitalia, i.e. the aedeagus and vesica (penis) in the males, and the bursa copulatrix in the females, together form a lock-and-key mechanism (LKM). The species-specific structures have their counterparts in the opposite sex.

Catch effectiveness, complementarity and costs of five sampling techniques for flying insects across different land use types

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Coloured canopy Malaise traps, branch sampling and caterpillar traps detected most BOLD‐BINs and showed the highest cost‐efficiency in capturing flying insects across land use types, in singular and combined use. Caterpillar traps were particularly effective in forests and detected far more taxa than only Lepidopterans.

First record of Microlechia Turati, 1924 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) from Australia with description of a new species

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract The genus Microlechia Turati, 1924, including a newly described species Microlechia zwicki sp. nov., is recorded for the first time in Australia. Detailed illustrations of the adult specimen and male genitalia of this new species are provided, alongside a discussion of how it could be diagnosed form related species within the genus. An updated

Molecular phylogeny of the tribe Luciini (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae): systematics and life history evolution

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 519-539, July 2025.
Phylogeny of the butterfly tribe Luciini showing Bayesian chronogram of evolution inferred with BEAST 1.10.4 and new monotypic genus Paradipsas Braby, gen. nov. Luciini are obligatorily associated with ants. Ant associations (subfamily and genus) with larvae of each butterfly species are indicated by tip circle colours. Ant attendance appears to be the

Distribution and Influences on Butterfly Diversity in Urban Park Green Spaces: A Case Study of Harbin, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Urban parks play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation amid increasing urbanization. This study investigates the effects of park characteristics and surrounding landscape heterogeneity on butterfly diversity in 44 urban parks in Harbin, China. Results show that integrating spatial heterogeneity metrics significantly improves model performance ...

Phylogenetic Trends in the Dissymmetrisation of Genitalia in Hadenini (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

Diversity
The external genital appendages of Noctuidae represent correlated–coevolved elements of a complex structure. The pathways of changes are delimited by some constraints, and they are parallelly evolved in different phyletic lines. Asymmetrical male external genitalia were found in Hadenini, in Polia and its closely related genera, but also in Anarta (s ...
