Automated Classification of Skippers based on Parts Representation

American Entomologist • Winter 2008 Unlike pathway and multiaccess keys, which use diagnostic morphological characters, NemaScope uses point-and-click visual matching that allows users to navigate through a collection of images until images similar to specimens under investigation are found. High-definition multifocal images of genera provide the basis for the initial photos and can be viewed when additional morphological information is needed.
