Abstract
In order to study their morphological identifications, preparations of male genital organs were made from
9 species including Ochlodes venatus, Gegenes pumilio, Pyrgus melotis, Pyrgus serratulae, Spialia
orbifer, Spialia phlomidis, Erynnis tages, Carcharodus orientalis, Carcharodus alceae belonging to
Hesperiidae family collected from localities at different altitudes with various vegetations in Hatay
province. Male genital organ of Carcharodus alceae was compared with those in the literature and the
distinctions between their genital organs and those reported from Spain, Netherlands, Afghanistan and
France are given here. Photos of male genital organs and the variations of Carcharodus alceae’s genital
organsa are also included in the paper.
