Claspers

Untitled

The sentence in the leader, " Lepidoptera have some of the most complex genital structures in the insect groups with a wide variety of complex spines, setae, scales and tufts in males, claspers of different shapes and different modifications of the ductus bursae in females.[2][3]" seems to attribute claspers to females while the header 'Male' section is the only one to mention claspers. This sentence needs to be rewritten to remove ambiguity or misleading information if the claspers are male-exclusive. 174.98.19.139 (talk) 16:49, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
