Three Dimensional Lepidoptera Genitalia Photo Gallery
Genitalia image sets for selected
dissection voucher specimens of Arctiinae
(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Genitalia were dissected and images taken by Hugo L. Kons Jr. Images were taken with the GT Vision imaging system {GT} at the American Entomological Institute or the Automontage imaging system {AM} at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Entomology. All structures are the natural three dimensional shape (not slide mounted) except for the juxta/anellus and abdominal cuticle (temporarily slide mounted for imaging).
