AGBIADES THETIS. 329 



/jl. — Partial gynandromoipih. ? partly covered with blue like 8 , the upperside 

 dashed with bright blue, not shading off into the brown, but clearly and sharply 

 defined. Exhibited meeting Ent. Soc. of London, December 7th, 1808 (Bond, Proc. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond., 1868, p. xlii). 



v. — Partial gynandromorph. Dark brown, shot with blue. Apparently a 8. 

 Captured at Dover by Chatwin, 1880. Briggs' coll. (Proc. Sth. Lond. Ent. Soc, 

 1894, p. 77). 



£. — The left forewing conspicuously 8 , the left hindwing slightly splashed 

 with 8 colouring. The right side ? . Captured at Dover by Bay ley, in 1879. 

 Briggs' coll. (Proc. Sth. Lond. Ent. Soc, 1894, p. 77). 



o. — The right forewing and the apical corner of the right hindwing 8 , the 

 rest of the right hindwing and the two left wings ? . Captured May 15th, 1908, 

 at Dompierre-sur-Mer, Charente-Inferieure (Oberthi'ir, Lep. Corny., 3rd fasc,p. 407, 

 pi. xix., fig. 69). 



7r. — The two right wings 8 , of the puncta form, the left wings ? of the 

 lunulata -form. The left wings distinctly larger than the right. Captured May 

 27th, 1907, at Digne (Oberthur, Lep. Comp., 3rd fasc, p. 407, pi. xix., fig. 70). 



Schultz notes (Woch. fur Ent., ii., p. 365) two probable gynandro- 

 morph s in the " Standi nger coll." Dadd has been good enough to 

 obtain for us descriptions of these specimens from Bang-Haas, which 

 read as follows : — 



p. — Brown 2 , in which the right forewing, with the exception of the costal 

 margin, is entirely blue. Both sides with the same measurements. Locality 

 unknown (Bang-Haas in lift.). 



s. — Left side smaller and more dusted with blue than the right. Locality 

 unknown (Bang-Haas in litt.). 



The following appear to suggest gynandromorphic tendencies : — 



r. — 8 . The brilliant blue colour entirely suffused with black scales. 

 Folkestone, 1891 (Austin, Proc. Sth. Lond. Ent. Soc, 1892, p. 23). 



ir. — Mixed. ? left forewing and two hindwings brown, with faint orange 

 lunnles on left forewing, well-marked ones on both hindwings.; right forewing 

 slightly larger than left, with blue inner margin from base to anal angle, and also 

 blue apex extending almost to discoidal, perhaps an irregularly-marked S only. 

 Tutt. coll. 



0., etc.— Several 8 s with one or all of the wings thickly irrorated with black 

 scales (Webb, Ent., xxi., p. 133). 



Teratological examples. — The following are some notes concern- 

 ing teratological examples that have come under our notice : — 



a. — 6 • The forewings normal, the right hindwing also normal (14mm. x 

 10mm.), the left hindwing dwarfed (12mm. X 7mm.). Captured at Digne, August 

 19th, 1906. Tutt coll. 



/3. — 8 . The right forewing has only half the normal width ; the other three 

 wings normal. All the nervures appear to be present, but extremely close to one 

 another. The underside has a large cellular spot, and three small submedian 

 unocellated spots. Captured at Veyrier, May 31st, 1908. Blachier coll. 



7. — ? . The right hindwing has a round hole in the neighbourhood of the 

 anal angle. Captured at Martigny, May 21st, 1905. Blachier coll. 



8. — 8 . The left forewing with the apical area truncate, the termen excised 

 below the apex ; the left hindwing with the termen excised between veins 6 and 

 2. Captured at Folkestone by South (South, Proc Sth. Lond. Ent. Soc, 1892, p. 

 58 ; Haiupson, Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxvii., p. 120). 



e. — 8 . The left hindwing about two-thirds the natural size, very narrow, and 

 rather short. Captured at Folkestone by South (South, Proc. Sth. Lond. Ent. Soc, 

 1892, p. 58 ; Hampson, Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxvii., p. 120). 



f. — 8 . The left hindwing with straight, instead of curved, outer margin, 

 making this wing narrower. Eight pair of wings normal. Captured at Cuxton, 

 May 20th, 1893. Tutt coll. 



77. — 8 . The left forewing hollowed considerably on the outer margin just 

 above the anal angle ; the left hindwing considerably hollowed on the inner 

 margin ; fringes of both hollows perfect. Right pair of wings normal. Captured 

 at Cuxton, June, 1881. Tutt coll.
