Abstract
The external genitalia and their musculature in both sexes of Lytta vulnerata (LeConte) are described, illustrated, and discussed, with comments on other authors' interpretations of various genitalic components and associated structures. Interspecific variation noted in several components of the genitalia suggests that they may be useful in taxonomic studies of the Meloidae.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
