Abstract
THE difference between the black mimetic and yellow non-mimetic female forms of the tiger swallowtail butterfly, Papilio glaucus L., is probably controlled by a locus on the Y (W) chromosome (cytoplasmic inheritance is less likely). Since the female is the heterogametic sex in the Lepidoptera black females should produce only black daughters and yellow females only yellow ones, and here we report cytological differences between the two.
