Details
This tutorial describes the procedures used for the economically important superfamily Tortricoidea, which have a broad application to many groups of Microlepidoptera. For both males and females, most steps in the procedures are clarified using digital movie footage.
The equipment used is described and illustrated throughout. In a section on the genitalia of males and females, taxonomically important structures are illustrated and labelled. A hyperlinked glossary provides definitions for technical and scientific terms used in the program or likely to be encountered elsewhere, and provides access to illustrations offering further clarification.
Arthropods of Economic Importance is available to order from our co-publisher ETI Information Services Ltd. For details of how to contact them, please visit Publishing partners.
