In reference to the classificatory value that should be attached to an aberrant type like this, I have already expressed my opinion in a paper on Megathymus, a Lepidopteron that connects in many ways the two great divisions of butterflies and moths, published in the Transactions of the Academy of Sciences of St. 10358 Louis, volume iii.,

Lepidopteron: a butterfly or moth: one of the Lepidoptera.

This little moth has a sickle-shaped appendage to its mouth-parts which occurs hi no other Lepidopteron, and which is used for pushing the yellow pollen into the opening of the pistil, thus fertilising the flower.
