The structure and development of the pineal complex in the lanternfish Triphoturus mexicanus (family mycotphidae).

abstract：:Most butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) use modified mouthparts, the proboscis, to acquire fluids. We quantified the proboscis architecture of five butterfly species in three families to test the hypothesis that proboscis structure relates to feeding guild. We used scanning electron microscopy to elucidate the fine s...
