Agassiz, David J. L. (2017). Do small ermine moths sing? Possible stridulatory sound production in Yponomeutidae (Lepidoptera). Journal of Natural History, 51(21-22): 1229 - 1236.
In the hind wings of Yponomeuta and related genera there are transparent patches without scales; within these are arrays of ridges and it is suggested these may be used to produce sounds, with the adjacent membrane acting as a resonator. Avenues for further research are explored, together with potential taxonomic implications.
