FIGURES 77–84. Diverticulum 6 in The taxonomy of Catocala nupta (Linnaeus, 1767) and its allies, with description of a new species (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

FIGURES 77–84. Diverticulum 6 of C. benedeki (Figs 77-78), C. concubia (Figs 79-80), and C. nupta (Figs 81–84) in lateral aspect with the ventral aedeagus hood orientated up. In C. nupta diverticulum 6 has three shallow but distinct subdiverticula; in C. benedeki and C. concubia there are two. Solid arrows point to the dorsal margin of subdiverticulum 6a; dashed arrows point to the anterior edge of subdiverticulum 6c. Note: It is impossible to photograph diverticulum 6 at exactly the same angle between specimens, and some apparent differences in shape within species are due to minor differences in the angle between the photographs, especially between Figs 79 and 80.
