armyworm, Spodoptera pulchella  (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) - 5432050

armyworm
Spodoptera pulchella Herrich-Schäffer 1868

Descriptor: Feature(s)
Description: 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).
