The Genitalia of the Noctuidae

Información del libro
F.N. Pierce's volume covering the male Noctuidae was published in 1909; Pierce later realised that the female genitalia were also of value in identification, so the volume covering the female Noctuidae followed in 1942. Though they are regarded as invaluable for identifying difficult species, the originals are not easily available, and the reprinted versions were considered inferior in quality. Pisces Conservation are delighted to have worked with the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological Society to produce this volume in electronic form. We have very carefully scanned and cleaned the original artwork to recreate the plates from scratch. Furthermore, we have added species concordance for all the species and their synonyms, with Bradley and Karsholt numbers, to assist the modern lepidopterist. Both the male and female volumes of "The Genitalia of the Noctuidae" are combined in this text.
