CALLIMORPHA DOMINULA. 
CALLIMORPHA DOMINUILA (variety). 
THE very fine variety of Callimorpha dominula figured above 
was captured by Mr. M. Ricketts, of Bouverie House, Folkestone, 
on the 6th July, 1882, at St. Margaret’s Bay, near Dover. It was 
observed from some distance as differing from the normal type, 
which was flying about in large numbers. 
The colours, as will be seen from the woodcut, have become 
suffused in a remarkable manner, forming one of the most 
beautiful varieties which have as yet come under our notice.

By A. Smwney OLuirr. 
In 1845 Professor Westwood called attention (Trans. Ent. 
Soe., Lond., vol. iv., p. 236) to the fact that the antenne of some 
of the species of Holoparamecus varied in the number of joints. 
At the same time he suggested that this variation was sexual.
