ON A GYNANDROMORPHOUS AMORPHA POPULI. 147 



felt inclined to do little moi-e than reat on reaching the cool of the 

 garden. On the evening of August 8rd, however, my dormant energy 

 was immediately aroused hy friend Joy dashing in with a Phr>/xits 

 Uvornica, which he had just netted in his garden a little way down the 

 road. The net was once more requisitioned, and for several evenings 

 watch was kept in the neighbourhood for other P. Uvornica, hut none 

 were met with. The specimen taken was caught hovering over white 

 phlox; it was in fairly good condition, one wing being slightly 

 chipped. Rnmicia phlaeas now made its appearance, and, as was the 

 case elsewhere, was common in the district. During August some 

 nice imagines were bred from the Rnralis befiilae, and A', r/a/mto larvne 

 obtained earlier in the year. A visit to Oxted on the August Bank- 

 holiday resulted in Vanessa io being seen and taken. On August 24th 

 Oxshott was visited for A<irotis af/atkina and two were obtained 

 in fair condition. A trip to Richmond Park at the end of the 

 month resulted in HcUnphohus popiilaris, Characas (jraininis, Noctiia 

 (jlareosa, Citiia reraf/o, and other species being taken. A flying visit 

 to Haslemere at the beginning of [September was not very productive, 

 but a few papsB of Ai/riopis aprilina were dug from under oak. My 

 season practically concluded with a short holiday at Lowestoft at the 

 end of September. Here Ruinicia pldacaa was again in evidence, 

 Pijrameis atalanta was seen at the ivy blossoms in fine condition, and 

 P. card III and Paranie inet/aera (second brood) were met with, worn. 

 Atiriiis conrolviili was reported to be in the district, but I failed to meet 

 with it. Pupa digging was resorted to, but nothing very special was 

 taken in this way, nine-tenths of those dug being Taeniocampa incerta. 



On a Gynandromorphous Amorpha populi. {With 2 plates.) 



By T. A. CHAPMAN, M.D. 



The Rev. C. R. N. Burrows has mounted the head and genitalia 

 of a gynandromorphous A. populi, given to him by Mr. L. W. 

 Newman, and has permitted me to examine the specimen. Amorpha 

 populi appears to afford moKe gynandromorphs than any other 

 Lepidopteron. Herr Bartel collected records of 73 in 1900, Tutt in 

 1902 refers to records of 79 specimens, and hardly a year passes with- 

 out a record of one or more examples. It does not, however, happen 

 that I have found any detailed account, or figure, of the genitalia of a 

 specimen. 



In Mr. Burrows' specimen the left side is male the right side 

 female. The head shows a left <? antenna and a right $ one. The 



Camera outlines of (1) left ( j ) palpus, (2) right ( ? ), 



(3) Two joints of left (i) antenna, about joints 13 or 



14. (4) Two joints from right ( ? ) from about same 



position. X 15.
