“This form seems now likely to establish itself in this part 
of the country, as I have bred another one from a wild larva 
found at Sydenham, about three miles from here. It was a 
very large, splendid specimen. 
“G. F. Lerten.” 
The female parent of the family exhibited was captured by 
Mr. Leigh on June 26, 1910, at Pinetown, Natal (about 
1000 ft.). She laid sixty-two eggs on June 27th—28th. The 
parent is a typical trophonius with a slight fulvous suffusion 
in the costal section and also along vein 5 of the subapical 
bar of the fore-wing, and without an apical spot. The spot 
within the fore-wing cell is divided, the detached outer end 
being greyish and obscurely defined. The large costal part of 
the marking is rather broad and short, in the form of an 
isosceles triangle with its base towards the costa. Hereditary 
influence is clearly manifest among the offspring, in the 
frequency with which the spot is divided, and less frequently 
in the appearance of the detached end and the form of the 
costal section. 
The offspring, consisting of 25 males, 22 cenea females, 4 
trophonius females, 2 hippocoon females, and 2 leighi females, 
emerged in the order and pupated on the dates shown in the 
following table :—
