Two types of sternal articulation are found in adult Ditrysia: the Tineoidea type, having elongated sternal rods internally in the second sternal sclerite and with apodemal projections into the thoracic lumen, and the Tortricoidea type, having simple apodemes.
The protrusion or non-protrusion behavior is characteristic of superfamilies in the Ditrysia.
It should be noted that this behavior involves the presence or absence of genetic components that form the pupal exterior spination, which is usually necessary for the pupa to be able to protrude from the cocoon.
