GYNANDROMORPHIC EACLES IMPERIALS
This gynandromorphic specimen of Eacles impermlis Drury, shown in Fig. 1, was attracted to black light July 20, 1963, in Pottersville, New Jersey. It hovered over a dark driveway about 50 feet away from black light when it was picked up by my partner, Don Ohlke. It is now in the author's collection. It is a perfect specimen and may be briefly characterized as follows:
