And the visually depicted butterfly is a 99% serratule.

And in pursuit of the butterfly serratulae, defined genitally.
And visually, alveus is 99%. So?

My serratula is visually slightly different from alveus-armoricanus, but on the underside: there are at least some remnants of a strip along the edge, and the mace of the antennae is dark and not orange from below. Although maybe it's only I have such differences, IMHO on the genitals at times more reliable. Here are my serratulas:

Not bad with Alveus turns out! Can de Jong send a picture?
"lobes" according to Lingvo in biology and medicine - "share; petal".
by the way, this specimen was caught in a biotope that is not quite typical for alveus-a dry chalk gully, near tanais and croaticas.

So they are on top and do not differ in my opinion. Serratula generally has a very variable top. We need to look under the covers.

In the Crimea, the serratula inhabits similar biotopes - rocky calcareous slopes.

Here are your gentlemen morphologists and underparts (as well as genitals). And now please explain to me, a peasant, what is the difference between habitus? I only see differences in the genitals. The morphology completely overlaps.

serratula yes, and I'm writing about the discussed female alveus from Luhansk.

bora: now ALL cook after such foto

bora: now cook EVERYONE after such photos

It is not necessary to cook all males. In the field, I take the butterfly by the abdomen with tweezers in front of the genitals, press, the genitals come out of the abdomen, and the details are perfectly visible through a magnifying glass with a magnification of more than 10.

In my post about monkeys photographing genitals, I did not want to offend anyone in any way, but only once again admire the drawing of palvasru4ko. I sincerely apologize if I did offend you.

bora: Thank you again for a lot of useful information! Tell me, please, in the genitals of the female serratulae, how many of these lobes are there? Also two (not very clearly visible in the picture)?

To be honest, the instance from Luhansk still baffles me a lot. (Or am I the only one so dead-end? smile.gif You can also send de Jong, why not? I can do this (because I have a positive experience of correspondence), if palvasru4ko and Sergey-D authorize me to do so. Or send it yourself.

Yes, there are only two blades. Just the genitals are slightly turned sideways (they float in glycerin).

Another interpretation of the "middle finger phenomenon"is possible. Several times I came across females, though Callophrys pigeons, who had a spermatophore sticking out of the antrum in the form of a sort of outgrowth. If you gently pulled it, it popped out like a cork from a bottle. The third (middle) lobe on the preparation of Pavel may be just a spermatophore between the two lobes of the post-magnetic plate. True (lateral on the preparation) blades may look more compact than in my photos, if the preparation is a little undercooked.

Just in case, under the influence of Pasha's pathetic post: I also do not pretend to do anything in this story, except perhaps to establish the truth and help my colleagues. IMHO, this is the main thing. smile.gif

Thank you all and good luck.

1. Drop the "genital aberrant" option

The first thing I would do is build a series. And then everything else. If, of course, it is confirmed that this is not an aberration.

Undoubtedly, it is necessary to catch fish and cook.
However, females are good, but don't forget about males!

I believe that with such a public discussion of the issue, there is hardly anyone who wants to grab this material and offend the "little ones".

I especially liked the antevaginal plate, completely sclerotized.

For "rags" there is another method of contrasting the drug. You can put the drug for a while in a dye that has a selective affinity for proteins, for example, Coomassie Brilliant Blue. Paul can find it in his honey. I once did this to contrast the genitals of females, but unfortunately I can't show you - the drugs have long been lost.

The series would be nice to collect, but in those places where I visit pyrgus (except mallow) b-m are rare, come across single copies. I've been trying to catch everyone for the last 2 years. That day, according to the diary, there were 2 pyrgus. It turns out that I either didn't catch the second one, or sent it to a colleague, I'll find out today.
I would also not rule out aberration - well, some parts strongly resemble alveus.

16.02.2010 12:04, okoem

I agree. However, it doesn't happen year after year. For example, in the fall of last season, we came across armoricanus in places where it seems to have never been before.
In general, if there is a butterfly (species), then somewhere it flies. In the neighboring gully or in the neighboring district - somewhere there is a must.

Sorry not quite in the subject:
Has anyone ever compared the genitals of steppe and forest H. comma L.??? In our forest-steppe, how many did not look for "forest" did not find!?? Only steppe people...

16.02.2010 19:07, lepidopterolog

Comma has a fairly wide range of biotopic affinity - in the MO, I met it both on xerophytic and mesophytic meadows and even on oligotrophic swamps! And in the Caucasus, it flies in alpika.

It seems to me that if we cook a lot and persistently, we will fill the entire row: along the width of the cululus and the width of the garpa process. Other signs work even worse. An interesting picture will turn out.

And what did the Americans "look out for"?

Nothing interesting for us, unfortunately.

According to my observations, butterflies with alveus genitalia have only one difference from armoricanus-they are on average 20% larger. Perhaps this is the reason for the massiveness of individual structures of the genitals. I have seen something similar in M. tessellum: the smaller the specimen, the "slimmer" the structure.
By the way, in addition to size, morphological features overlap.

Duc, there pyrgusy our perpendicular at all. Only centaureae are found in America. And then, perhaps, these (in Eurasia and America) are actually different species.
