. The bionomics of blister beetles of the genus Meloe and a classification of the New World species. Meloe; Insects. BIONOMICS 35 occur at the beginning of the genital phase or following a genital in- sertion attempt. Its duration, like that of other periods of male court- ship, is highly variable. As in the case of the genital insertion attempt, antennation activity may continue during the period of posterior riding. Sequential Patterning of Courtship in the Subgenus Meloe In this section the patterning of male courtship activity in M. angusticollis, M. dianella, and M. impressus is compared.

Sequence diagram of male courtship behavior in Meloe angusticollis. Solid-line circles represent individual elements of courtship, as labeled; dotted- line circles represent elements of courtship existing in other species. Numerals indicate the number of times that a given element or sequence of elements was.
