148 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



labial palpi differ largely in size, the left being 4-8mm, long, the right 

 only 2-6mm. The left is even wider in proportion, but measurement 

 would be misleading as the 2nd joint has been torn in mounting. 



The structure of the genitalia will be better understood by reference 

 to the photographs (by Mr. F. N. Clark) of Mr. Burrows' specimen, 

 and of the normal ^ and 2 structures of normal specimens, which 

 are presented herewith x 12J. I have numbered the parts so as to 

 show the correspondences. 



It is curious that whilst there appears to be a complete $ side 

 deft), there is not only the other (right) side (completely) 3 , but male 

 structures of the left (or female) side are also represented. This is as 

 in photograph, which happens to reverse the specimen. 



Thus there are both branches of the uncus marked (1), and I have 

 chosen as a normal (?) male for comparison, one with two branches 

 unequal, which is not common. There are also the clasps of both 

 sides, both valve (3) and harpe (4) being of fairly normal development 

 in both cases. The aedoeagus is not perfect, but its deficiency is not 

 on one side. The distal portion (5) seems fairly normal (both right 

 and left sides), but the basal portion (6) is shrunk and connected with 

 the distal end by a very narrow neck. The female side is represented 

 by the terminal flap of the ovipositor (2) with its rod (7), and by the 

 portion of the plate of the 9th segment, which (see PI. VI) is always a 

 slight structure, but the rod (9) belonging to it is fairly normal. The 

 vaginal structures (8), being only those of one side, are twisted out of 

 very recognisable form. 



It would perhaps have been even more interesting had the inner 

 structure, ovaries, tubes, etc., been preserved, but they became no 

 doubt injured and lost in the process of maceration. 



Description or Plates V. and VI. 



Plate V. — Appendages of gynandromorphous .-J »(0)'^/ia po/)i(Zi x 12^. 



Plate VI. — Upper ? , lower i , appendages of Amorpha populi x 1'2J. The 

 two divisions of the uncus (1) are unequal in the cT specimen, an interesting ab- 

 normality, otherwise the specimens are normal, and suitable for comparison with 

 the specimen on PI. V. 



Leptosia duponcheli var. aestiva at Digne. 



By W. G. SHELDON, F.E.S. 

 It was in the early days of August, 1906, I had landed at Nice in 

 the morning, after a rough crossing from Ajaccio, and having travelled 

 all day up the beautiful but stiilingly hot Gorge of the Var and across 

 the Col de Vergons, had welcomed with relief the hospitable doors of 

 the " Boyer-Mistre," at Digne. Dinner was being served on my 

 arrival, and after a hasty wash I took the only vacant seat, about half 

 way down the long table in the " Salle-a-manger." ] was tired, and my 

 powers of observation were dulled, and beyond noticing that my right 

 hand neighbour was one of the largest men I had ever seen, 1 did not 

 inspect my fellow diners. I was a course or two behind the others, 

 and just as the dessert was reached my right hand neighbour retired. 

 I turned towards the vacant seat to annex a peach from a dish on the 

 table, when an expression burst forth from the occupant of the next 

 chair, " Hallo, what on earth are you doing here ? " and, looking 

 towards him, I found I was addressed by the late Editor of this maga-
