TI  - [The moth Copitarsia decolora: a review of the species complex based on egg and 
      male genital morphology (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)].
PG  - 769-76
AB  - Copitarsia decolora is a widely distributed polyphagous species with a large 
      number of nominal changes due to phenotypic plasticity. We reviewed 14 males from 
      Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Chile and the literature produced between 
      2003 and 2008. An analysis of the clasper complex of C. decolora male genitalia 
      was performed by standard dissection. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) 
      photographs of eggs structures were used as taxonomic characters. The genus 
      Copitarsia comprises 23 species. C. corruda is considered a synonym of C. 
      decolora.
