Lepidoptera - the Butterflies

Throughout Papilio, the ♂♂ are 4 times (about) as numerous as ♀♀, In many species the ♀ is hard to get. This is what Edwards says; & he has large experience, receiving many collections from all quarters, & collecting himself extensively. In Papilio Turnus the ♂♂ are certainly at least 4 times as numerous as ♀♀; we have only 4 species of the genus here.

& one may say of

dull gray as in ♀. In Aegeria exitrosa say ♀ there is a broad orange band on middle of the steel-blue abdomen not found in ♂; but ♂ front wing is mostly hyaline & that of ♀ steel-blue opaque. - In Saturnia ie ground-color of ♂ wings is bright ochre yellow, instead of reddish brown as in ♀. In Acoutia (2 species) a genus of Tineidæ, ♀ has a good deal more black than ♂.
