Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 39: January to December, 1927
It is a pity the different broods were not kept apart both from the point of view of the sex ratios and the colour variation, but the time required for this was greater than I could afford. The excess of males is noteworthy, and I do not think it was due to the death of female larvae. The females on the whole emerged later than the males, but the first wow/73 to emerge was a female and the last to emerge. In the Case of both hybrids were males. Most of the big larvae which died were, tojudge by their size, males and only one was undoubtedly female. It is well known that in some hybrids the sex ratio is abnormal; in some cases there are more males than females and in others all are males.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's hybridisation experiments, involving Thera variata and T. obeliscata, a pair of moth species. The author also provides a thorough examination of the characteristics of these moths, from larval stage to pupae, to adult moth. The study provides a better understanding of the relationship between the two species, their shared genus, and the physiological differences that set them apart, ultimately contributing to the broader study of moth taxonomy.
