An effective method for the close up photography of insect genitalia during dissection: a case study on the Lepidoptera
Characters of male and female genitalia in insects in general, especially in Lepidoptera, are essential for species identification as they display extensive morphological variation. In embedded genitalia, due to the positioning of the genitalia and the pressure of the cover glass, the appearance of some diagnostic characters might be confusing. This potentially leads to taxonomic misinterpretation. Additionally, the photography of genitalia structures in ethanol is difficult, due to drift or hardening of genitalia. A method is presented here to fix the position of the genitalia in ethanol, which allows comparative close up photography. The advantage of the method is demonstrated by illustrating the sacculus projection of three Triphosa species.
期刊介绍:
Nota Lepidopterologica is the scientific, peer-reviewed journal of the Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica (SEL). It publishes original contributions to the study of mainly but not exclusively Palaearctic Lepidoptera, especially on taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, ecology, behaviour, and conservation, but also on any other aspects of lepidopterology.
All articles are published in English, with the possibility of having the summary written in other languages. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
All papers can be freely copied, downloaded, printed and distributed at no charge. Authors and readers are thus encouraged to post the pdf files of published papers on homepages or elsewhere to expedite distribution. Publication is free for the SEL members and there is no charge for color.
