At a meeting of the Montreal Branch reference was made to 

 certain specimens of Lepidoptera exhibiting the characters of both 

 sexes in the one individual, and these, as well as the references at 

 hand in North American literature, indicated that the right side 

 was male and the left side female. The question was raised as to 

 whether this was invariably the case or merely chance in the few 

 on record. Mr. Gibb kindly offered to ask the members of the 

 South London Ent. Society, and the following reply has been 

 received : — 



"In answer to the question of the right side being always the 

 male, it has often been so asserted; but I find that one gets it both 

 ways, as the following list will show: 



RI 



Euchloe cardamines 

 Lyccena agon 

 Lyccena icarus 

 Lyccena icarus 

 Lyccena corydon 

 Smerinthus popnli 

 Smerinthus popnli 

 Endromis versicolor 

 Eugonia quercinaria 

 Coremia ferrugata 

 In the last four species (moths) the antenna? show stronger 

 sexual differences than the wings.
