About this book

The first book in a projected series covering key insect groups, Lepidopteran Anatomy provides a detailed exposition of the anatomy of Lepidoptera, using the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) as a model. It is the first and only current, single-source treatment available on the anatomy of Lepidoptera. No other book treats the subject in such a comprehensive fashion. While the tobacco hornworm serves as a model for other Lepidoptera, important structures from groups not found in Manduca are described as well. Lepidopteran Anatomy illustrates and describes all life stages of lepidoptera, including the larva and adult forms of the exoskeleton, musculature, organ systems, and specialized structures of Lepidoptera. Many structures previously neglected or poorly described are detailed. Nearly 70 plates and over 190 figures provide clear and detailed illustrations throughout. Selected references are included at the end of each chapter. As the only thorough treatment of the morphology of this insect group, Lepidopteran Anatomy will be an essential acquisition for entomologists, morphologists, and insect physiologists.
