The three ommatidial types of Pieris rapae crucivora

Ommatidial type	I		IIf		IIm		III
Rhabdom shape	Trapezoid		Square		Square		Rectangular
Pigment/eye shine	Pale-red		Deep-red		Deep-red		Pale-red
Sex	Female/male		Female		Male		Female/male
Fluorescing pigment	No		No		Yes		No
Photoreceptor	S(λ)	Opsin	S(λ)	Opsin	S(λ)	Opsin	S(λ)	Opsin
R1	UVa	PrUV	V	PrV	dB	PrV	UV	PrUV
R2	Ba	PrB	V	PrV	dB	PrV	UV	PrUV
R3,4	G	PrL	G	PrL	dG	PrL	G	PrL
R5–8	PR	PrL	DR	PrL	DR	PrL	PR	PrL
R9	PR?	PrL?	DR?	PrL?	DR?	PrL?	PR?	PrL?

S(λ) gives the name of the photoreceptor class, as derived from the wavelength range of the spectral sensitivity, UV ultraviolet, V violet, dB double-peaked blue, B blue, G green, dG blue-suppressed green, PR pale-red, DR deep-red (Wakakuwa et al. 2007)

^aThe anatomically defined photoreceptors R1 and R2 either contain the UV and B rhodopsin or the B and UV rhodopsin
