only of the normal uncus. On the left side of the tegumen an 

 elongate hairy prominence is situated, which, without hesitation, 

 should be identified as the left papilla analis of the female (Fig. 2, 

 p. a.}. Lastly, on the pleural regions of the 8th and 9th abdomi- 

 nal segments there are some deformities rather exactly repro- 

 ducing the pleural portions of the female abdominal segments 

 (Fig. 3, pi. 7 9 and pi. + st. 7 9).

Thus, in this case, the structural and pigmental female charac- 

 ters of the wings, labial palpi and hair clothing show a corre- 

 spondence with the copulatory apparatus on the same side of the 

 body. In other terms, the tertiary sexual characters (structure 

 and pigmentation of the wings and palpi) are strongly divided and 

 separated by the symmetry plane, while the secondary ones 

 (copulatory structures) are to some extent independent of this 

 plane. Further, the male genital structures are markedly 

 dominant and the female ones repressed.

 differences in the legs. Captured in the region under the Kaluga
