There are about 2000 species & vars. Of Heterocera moths in catalogue. Exchange those with Aplennes females of these 141 differ by sexes in female; in only 11 the males are dearer than females; in 130 the males are cheaper in proportions given. However sexes do not differ apparently in number as often in moth as with butterflies & difference not quite so great & this agrees with less apparent results of sexual selection.—
