(The cuts represent the upper and under sides of a specimen of 

 Papilio Antiphates, Cram., the tails of v/hich have been cropped off with 

 a scissors. The outHne faithfully reproduces the mutilation, so as to 

 render it recognizable by any one familiar with the species.) 

 Fig. 3, Papilio panope. A good outline of the upper and under side of 

 this species. 



The only commentary upon the Icones of Clerck which I have been 

 able to find is embodied in the papers of Prof. Zeller, alluded to already 

 in this article, and a paper by Herr Werneburg, published in the Stettiner 

 Entomologische Zeitung for the year 1856, in which the writer under- 

 takes to solve some of the problems as to synonymy, which he regards 

 Prof. Zeller as having left untouched. These all, however, as the 

 comments of Prof Zeller likewise, relate to the European micro- 

 lepidoptera figured in the work. I may at a later date furnish a paper 

 upon the synonymy of the exotic micro-lepidoptera, in regard to which 

 plainly something remains to be said.

HERMAPHRODITE GYPSY MOTHS. 



BY C. H. FERNALD, AMHERST, MASS. 



Two specimens of this moth (Ocneria dispar, L.) were taken in 

 Medford, Mass., last summer, which are what Ochsenheimer called 

 perfect Hermaphrodites. One is much larger than the other, having an 

 expense of 52 mm., and has the right half of the body, with the wings 

 and antennae of that side, of the form, colour and markings of the female, 

 while the left side of the body, with its wings and antenuce, are male. 

 The other example has a wing expanse of 39 mm., and is a male on the 

 right side and a female on the left. In both specimens the frenulum is 

 single on the male side, but divided on the female. 



As the sexes of this moth differ so strongly in the form and colour of 

 the wings, and in the pectinations of the antennae, an Hermaphrodite is a 

 remarkable insect to look at, and seems almost to suggest that it is a 

 work of art. 



Hermaphroditism in this species is occasionally met with in Europe, 

 several cases being on record in the European journals.
