Summary

Description
English: Overview of the two known subspecies of geometrid moth Ourapteryx yerburii: yerburii and virescens, with mounted male specimens and genitalia (aedeagi displayed seperately) are shown. As described by Inoue, the facies and sizes of these two subspecies are almost identical, except that the furca in the male genitalia of virescens "is not so acutely downcurved nor dilated"[1].

The abdomen of yerburii was removed to extract the genitalia inside.
