152 BR.J. ENT.NAT. HIST.,15: 3/4;2002 2001 ANNUAL EXHIBITION — Imperial College, London SW7 10 November 2001 The following account of exhibits has been compiled by R.D.G. Barrington (British butterflies), G.A. Collins (British Macrolepidoptera), H.E. Beaumont (British Microlepidoptera), N.M. Hall (Foreign Lepidoptera), P.J. Chandler (Diptera), R.G. Booth (Coleoptera), A.J.A. Stewart (Hemiptera), A.J. Halstead (Hymenoptera and other orders). The photographs for the two colour plates were taken by D.E. Wilson and the cost ofprinting these plates was met by a grant from the Hammond Memorial Fund. Exhibits under the theme "Hedgerow Insects" were invited as part ofthe Annual Exhibitionin 2001 Thenotesfromtheseexhibitshavebeenincorporatedintheusual . categories but, where appropriate, mention has been made if specimens were exhibited under this theme. British Butterflies — Bailey, K.E.J. Temperature shockexperiments onvariousbutterflies, applied at the late larval/early pupal stage. Various aberrations were shown ofIssoria lathonia (L.), Polygonia c-album (L.), Eiiphydryas aurinia (Rott.), Apatura iris (L.), Aglais urticae (L.) and Lasiommata megera (L). Little work has been done on temperature shocks in the family Satyridae and so the results in megera are interesting (see also report on exhibit ofP. Tebbutt). Unhke the Nymphalids, inwhich most temperature shock work has been carried out, L. megera showed no smooth range ofincreasingly aberrant patterns. Aglais urticae aberrations bred under natural conditions from inbred stock ofab. pseiidocouuexa (Cabeau) (in which the central forewing costal black marking is joined to the basal spot on the inner margin). This included a possible example of homoeosis and aninteresting newforminwhich theundersideis heavily shadedwith brown. This form appeared weak. Temperature shocks on pupae ofpseudoconnexa produced a striking combination of this aberration with ab. semiichneusoides (Pronin).

Captured aberrations in 2000 and 2001 included a Polyommatus icarus (Rott.) ab. alba-radiata (Courv.) (Plate 1, Fig. 3). This was probably due to a spell of very hot weather at the time it would have pupated. A gynandromorph ofManiolajurtina (L.), forewings male, hindwings mixed, but very unusual in showing its effects on the underside only. Eight female M. jurtina ab. postmidtifidus (Lipscomb), including extreme forms, from a hay meadow in Somerset. Abo—ut 50 of this rare variety have been seen in this one field over the last four years a level far higher than has been recorded elsewhere before. Bred aberrations: a) M.jurtina ab. postmultifidus, eight females bred in an from a wild Somerset female. In the most extreme form the lower halfofthe underside hindwing central band is entirely obhterated. This is a dominant form and results from previous breeding experiments suggest that the homozygote may be lethal. b) Eight Pyrouia tithonus (L.) ab. nndtiocellata (Oberthiir) bred in the F3 generation from an original Devon female. The most well-developed had two very large, pupilled extra spots on each forewing and five on the upperside on each hindwing. This is a multifactorial form. c) A series ofPieris napi (L.) ssp. thomsoniWarren bred from Northern Scotland. This included a mixed gynandromorph affecting three wings (Plate 1, Fig. 7) and a female with veryheavily scaled forewingveining. The rest ofthe seriescomprised ab. fasciata (Kautz). The original female showed this form in a minor way and it has been developed through three generations of inbreeding to produce very strongly marked forms. A proportion ofthe females in each brood was of^ovmflava (Kane). This produces females with yellow ground colour on the upper surface, the yellow varying from very pale to intense. Rarely it affects the underside too, but is sex- hmited and so does n—ot occur in the male. Beaumont, H.E. Anthocharis cardamines (L.), a gynandromorph, mainly affecting the underside, with streaks of orange on an otherwise female insect. Captured Dena—by Ings, Mexborough, South Yorkshire 21.v.2001. Brown, D. Celastrina argiolus (L.) gynandromorph, Coventry, Warws., 2001. T. Gosling (Plate—1, Fig. 5). Butcher, A.J. AverywhitespecimenofColiascroceus(Geoffroy)f. helice(Hb.) ab. albissima (Ragusa) in which even the upperside hindwing discal spot is white. Captured at Alfr—iston, Sussex on 3.viii.l996. Butler, A.L. Lysandra bellargus (Rott.) ab. albicincta (Tutt), Swanage, August 2001. Aglais urticae (L.) ab. semiichneusoides (Pronin), Polygonia c-album (L.) ab. sagitta-album Frohawkand Vanessaatalanta(L.) ab. klemensiewiczi(Schille)wereall produced by tem—perature shocks to the pupa. Fensome, B. Maniola jurtina (L.) ab. postmultifidus (Lipscomb), Dorset July 2000. The most extreme of this form on record, with the whole of the hindwing median band broken up and partially obliterated by dark scaling (Plate 1, Fig. 4). Lysandra coridon (Poda), a mixed gynandromorph from the Chiltern Hills, August 2000 (Plate 1, Fig. 2). A gynandromorph ofAnthocharis cardamines (L.), Waresley, Beds., June 2001. Polygonia c-album (L.) ab. suffusa Tutt, June 2001, and 6 aberrations of L. coridon showing minor variation in spotting and ground colour from pupae that w—ere artificially chilled. Harmer, A.S. Short series of Aphantopus hyperantus (L.) from various localities. Thisincluded southern England (Dorset, Hampshire and Sussex), Scotland (Dalbeattie Forest and Barcloy Hill in Dumfries and Galloway) and Ireland (Milford, Co. Donegal). Compared to the Enghsh form the Scottish race is smaller and greyer on the under surface, with ocelli reduced in size. The Irish form is similar BR.J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 15: 3/4;2002 155 to the Scottish in wing size and ocelh, but the underside is a darker brown than those from England and Scotland and more heavily covered in yellow scales. In flight even fresh specimens appeared worn. A. hypevantus ab. lanceolata (Shipp) bred from Sussex stock, and female ab. lanceolata+arete (Miiller) from a combination of Sussex and Dorset strains. Polyommatus icarus (Rott.), short series from southern England, Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway, Tayside, Highland), Orkney and Ireland (Co. Sligo and Co. Donegal). The univoltine (Scottish and Irish) races tend to be bigger (except those from Orkney) and the females more blue. The males often show ab. nigromaciikita (Cockerell), with a series of black spots on the upperside hindwing mirroring the position of the black spots in the marginal lunules of the underside. — Humphrey, D. Nine specimens ofLysandra coridou (Poda) taken in a Wiltshire locality since 19—90, including several ab. grisea (Tutt) (Plate 1, Fig. 1). Jones, A.M. The results of breeding from a captured homoeotic Argyunis paphia (L.) showing splashes of underside hindwing coloration on the underside of each forewing. 150 eggs were laid but many were infertile. The F, produced 10 typical adults and 11 showing homoeosis. The Ft from pairings between homoeotic adults was very weak and produced 20 type insects and none showing homoeosis. Out-crossing homoeotic males to f. valesina (Esper) females produced 37 typical adults and 15 showing homoeosis. All examples of homoeosis were minor. Breeding experiments with the fly Drosophila have shown that homoeotic mutations can be inherited in a simple Mendelian fashion. This important breeding experiment shows clearly that homoeosis can be heritable too in A. paphia, but in a rather more complex, or irregular, pattern. Colias croceus (Geoffroy), 2 aberrations bred in December 2000 in an F, from a female captured in west Sussex. A male ab. chrysotheme (Stephens) and a female ab. pseudomas (Cockerell). A fine aberrant underside ofa female Bo/oria euphrosyne (L.) showing 'obsolete' forewings and unicolored and streaked hindwings. The upperside forewings were 'obsolete' and confluent, the hindwings slightly melanic and confluent. Captured 26.V.2001 (Plate 1, Fig. 11). Two captured forms of Argyunis paphia (L.), July 2001. A male ab. nigricans (Cosmovici) and an e—xtreme female ab. ocellata (Frings) (Plate 1, Fig. 13). Knill-Jones, S.A.

A male Polygonia c-albwn (L.). ab. obscura (Closs.)—(New Maiden, Surrey, 21.vii.l986). Revels, R.C. Bred aberrations of Aphantopus hyperantus (L.). Several strong ab. lanceolata Shipp selected from a brood of 400 in June/July 2000 and 200 in June/July 2001. This strain originates from F2 larvae given to the exhibitor by A.S. Harmer in 1997. A selection of aberrations that combined ab. lanceolata and arete (Miiller). Maniolajurtina L. ab.postmultifidus (Lipscomb). Examples bred in the Fj and F2 generations from Fj larvae of Somerset origin, given to the exhibitor by R.D.G. Barrington. The aberrations were stronger in the Fj generation than in the F2. A male lacking the apical eyespot, ab. anommata (Verity) emerged unexpectedly in the F.. — Pieris napi (L.) Specimens showing heavy dark scaling on the veins bred in Eg and F9 generations from an original Bedfordshire female captured in August 1997 156 BR.J.ENT.NAT.HIST., 15: 3/4;2002 which was also heavily veined. In the F3, F4 and F5 generations, albino specimens (ab. pallidus Frohawk) appeared but proved too weak to breed. Lysandra coridon (Poda) aberrations from the northern Chilterns included ab. cmtidigitata (B.&L.) and ab. inaeqiialis (B.&L.) Photograph—s showing the life history ofLimenitis Camilla (L.) Stokes, D. 3 gynandromorphs ofAnthochariscardamines(L.). One reared by C. Davidson in 1993 and noticed a few days afteremergence in his greenhouse amongst many typical specimens. The second was reared from a wild-collected larva in 2000. The broodwas to be released on theassumption that allwere type, and this specimen was only noticed at thepoint ofrelease. The third wascaptured in acarrierbagfrom the middle ofa—nettle patch on 1 June 2001. Tebbutt, p. A range of aberrations resulting from temperature shock experiments. This included some good melanic forms of Argynnis paphia (L.), extreme forms ofPolygouia c-album (L.) and 3 strong aberrations ofBoloria selene (D.&S.), two showing 'obsolete' forewings and blackish hindwings (underside hindwings silver rayed) (Plate 1, Fig. 9). The third showed confluent forewings and black hind wings. Two Lasiommata megera (L.) ab. mediolugens (Fuchs) showing darkened central forewing fascia produced by cold-shocking the pupae. Interestingly mediolugens can also haveageneticbasis, beinginheritedin a simple Mendelianratio. Theseexhibited specimens have no genetic basis but are exact phenocopies ofthat genetic form. Various aberrations of Polyommatiis icarus (Rott.) from cold-shocked pupae. They included examples with partially and totally obsolete spotting and a male ab. autidigitata (Courv.)
