Gynandromorphs and Sex. 



By Hy. J. TURNER, F.E.S. 



In the h!iit(iiii()lii(/ixt's Record, vol. xxiii., page 215, was a Current 

 Note on '• Gynandromorphous Macro-Lepidoptera," giving a list of 

 references to a series of articles in which were catalogued all the 

 gynandromorphous specimens known, with details of their individual 

 characteristics. 



We have recently gone through the first four series of these records 

 with a view to test the value of a general statement which has been 

 made sometimes, ch., that as a rule the right side was male and the 

 left side female. 



The references are all to species of the Rhopalocera of the Paltearctic 

 Fauna. Those gynandromorphous examples whose sexes were mixed, 

 and indefinite as to sex division, have been omitted.
