Spodoptera ornithogalli |
This species is most easily distinguished by the shape of the clavus, which resembles a hairy toe. It is nearly identical to the genitalia of S. pulchella; notice that the coremata are of unequal size. |

Spodoptera pulchella |
The genitalia of Spodoptera pulchell are nearly identical to the genitalia of S. ornithogalli. A small spine in the vesica of the aedeagus is the distinguishing characteristic, but is difficult to find. Also, the coremata lobes are of equal size. Fortunately, the wings are distinctive, plus, apparently, this species is found only in southern Florida (and the West Indies).
