四种虎凤蝶翅面斑纹特征及鳞片的超微结构

Studies on wing coloration and scale ultrastructure of four Luehdorfia species. Journal of Zhejiang Agricultural University

比较了中华虎凤蝶、太白虎凤蝶、乌苏里虎凤蝶和日本虎凤蝶成虫翅面斑纹特征及鳞片超微结构。前翅外缘黄色斑，后翅外缘半月斑、亚外缘红色斑、亚外缘黑色斑、中室黑带及前翅外缘形状和后翅尾突长度等特征在种间有明显差别，是种鉴定的重要依据。鳞片按其形状和结构可分为４种类型，后翅外缘处的青色鳞片具金属光泽，为结构色，其余各色鳞片的结构相同，为色素色。四种虎凤蝶的鳞片超微结构无明显差异。

In this paper, both wing coloration and scale ultrastructure are compared among four butterfly species of Luehdorfia, i.e. L. chinensis, L. taibai, L. puziloi and L. japonica . These wing characteristics included yellow band and appearance of the outer margin on the surface of the fore wing. Meanwhile the characteristics also included hemicircular band, of the outer margin, red stripe and black stripe of the subouter margin, black band of median cell as well as the length of swallowtail on the surface of the hind wing. These characteristics were important parameters for classifying these four butterflies. According to the appearance and structure, wing scale could be divided into four types. The blue color of the scale with metal gloss associated with the outer margin of the hind wing was considered as structure color. No marked differences in scale structures among the scales associated with yellow, black, red and orange color, respectively. The colors of these wing scales were regarded as pigmentary color. There were not remarkable differences in scale structures among these four butterflies.
