not been seized on and rendered definite by natural selection, as hereafter will be explained.
Individuals of the same species often present great differences of structure, not directly connected with variability, as in the two sexes, as in the two or three castes of sterile females or workers amongst insects, and as in the immature and larval states of all animals. There are, however, other cases, namely of dimorphism and trimorphism, which might easily be, and have frequently been, confounded with variability, but which are really quite distinct. I refer to the two or three distinct forms, which certain animals of either sex, and certain hermaphrodite plants, habitually present. Thus, Mr. Wallace, who has lately called special attention to the subject, has shown that the females of certain species of butterflies, in the Malayan archipelago, regularly appear under two or even three conspicuously distinct forms, not connected together by intermediate varieties. The winged and frequently wingless states of so many Hemipterous insects may probably be included as a case of dimorphism, and not of mere variability. Fritz Müller, also, has recently described analogous but more extraordinary cases in the males of certain Brazilian Crustaceans: thus, the male of a Tanais regularly occurs under two widely different forms, not connected by any intermediate links; one of these forms has much stronger and differently shaped pincers for seizing the female, and the other, as if for compensation, has antennæ much more abundantly furnished with smelling-hairs, so as to have a better chance of finding the female. Again, the males of another Crustacean, an Orchestia, occur under two distinct forms, with pincers differing much more from each other in structure, than do the pincers of most species of the same genus.
