8 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
as follows :—‘ Any females with shape of wings normal or equal but 
with blue scaling or splashes of blue varying on different wings either 
slightly or a good deal.”’ 
In var. roystonensis the shapes of the wings are decidedly Auton 
on each side, one side with either one or both wings smaller, in marked 
contrast to the opposite side, the smaller wings being also more or less 
covered with blue scales. Occasionally, but rarely, the larger wings 
may contain a certain amount of blue, but in smaller quantity com- 
pared with that on the smaller wings. I have a specimen with the 
wings on one side much smaller than those on the other, but showing 
no blue. Still as long as one side is smaller I consider such specimens 
as var. roystonensis. 
The forms mentioned on page 86 of the last volume I would place 
as follows :— 
A. A male with wings smaller on one side. I have since heard 
that in this particular specimen the wings are crippled, 
causing the diminution in size, hence it would not come 
under either roystonensis or inaequalis. 
B. I put under roystonensis, as one side is decidedly smaller. It is 
a rare and interesting form as it has the blue scaling on the 
larger wings. 
C. Would come more under ab. inaequalis as the wings are equal. 
One is almost sure to meet with specimens that want a good 
deal of placing. 
D. Would certainly come under roystonensis and I think it is the 
only one of its kind having no blue scaling but having the 
left side much smaller. 
EB. Would favour inaequalis, being much as C, having wings sym- 
metrical. 
During August of this year I had the opportunity of working A. 
coridon throughout the whole of the month and after examining some 
60,000 I managed to secure 66 var. roystonensis, all of which have the 
blue scaling on the smaller wings, I am examining each specimen 
carefully and shall report on them in a latter note.
