Bursae copulatrix of six species of Gonepteryx were morphologically compared using a steroscopic microscope and a scaning electron microscope. As other genera of Pieridae, appendix bursae were developed in this genus and the shapes of the bursae copulatrix were different to species. However, shapes of signa were stable and were not distinct to species. On innersurfaces around ribbon-like signa, many folds were developed and most of inner-surface processes were widely distributed on the oppostie side of signa. Most of innersurface processes were spindle-like and basal ridges were developed. G. aspasia and G. taiwana were recognized as the most similar species in Gonepteryx considering shapes of bursae copulatrix and the condition of innersurface processes.

Under Light and Scanning electron microscope, the pupal morphology of mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori Linn. revealed the prothorax and metathorax, well developed mesothorax, less defined last pair of sporacle, well exposed prothoracic femora and wing pads approaching the anterior margin of Ab III. The important sex separating characters viz, wegiht, antennal elevations, intersegmental lines and genings have discussed. Further, two separate openings bursa copulatrix and ovipositional opening were observed, performing different functions in abult moth.

This study was performed to estimate the efficacy of three commercial mating disruptors for the control of oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck), using a food-baited trap to collect field females. Mated female ratios estimated in the mating disruptor-treated areas were compared with the estimates of male trap captures, and both estimates were evaluated on the basis of crop damage measured by shoot tip damage caused by G. molesta. Both males and females were attracted to the food trap-baited with terpinyl acetate in apple orchard. Spermatophore of G. molesta was similar to female bursa copulatrix in size. Though there was more than 95% reduction in male trap captures indicating significant mating disruption, significant crop damage occurred on apple leaf buds, in which more than 35% of captured females were mated. This study demonstrates that assessment of the mated females would be more reasonable to represent the efficacy of mating disruptor(s) than the assessment of the male captures in G. molesta.
