Abstract

While among the Lepidoptera hermaphroditism has previously been well known, this phenomenon has hitherto been considered unusual among the Skippers….Bell is of the opinion that hermaphroditism occurs more frequently among the Skippers than was previously thought. Since this rather obscure group of butterflies is often overlooked by the casual collector, it is easy to see why so few hermaphrodite Hesperiids have been collected and observed.
