220 Mr. S. A. Neave : some bionomic 



jyunctaUssima, Boisd. (150), is the model. Two species of 

 Lycoenidse are associated with it, viz. : — 



Pcntila petreia, Hew. (24). 

 „ darcnsis, Neavc (10). 



Note. — Prof. Ponlton informs me that lie discovered two specimens 

 of P. amenaida, Hew., placed among the Acreeas in the Hope 

 Collection by Professor Westwood. 



Another synaposematic group among the Acra^inas con- 

 sists of the larger red and black species, viz. : — 



A. cgina, Cram. (21). 



A. 2icrenna, Dbl. and Hew. (42). 



A. zctcs, Linn. (7). 



A. jiJiarsalus, Ward (8), 



A. orina f. orinata, Obcrth. (G). 



These species belong to no less than three ditferent sub- 

 divisions of the AcrmiiicV. 



These species — especially.^, cgina — are resembled closely 

 by Pcqnlio ridlcyanus, White (4). 



Fscwlacr/va hoisduvali, Dbl., though not in the Wiggins 

 or Harrison collection, was obtained by Mr. A. W. Hobley in 

 the same district, and also closely mimics A. cgina. 



Momira zingha, Cram. (1), is probably an outlying 

 member of this red and black group. 



It is by no means improbable that the outlying gigantic 

 mimic, Fapilio antwiachns, Drury, will also ultimately be 

 found here. 



Mimicry in other Groups. 



Atella j^)An/rt.7i///« (144), so common all over Africa, 

 occurs plentifully in the collection, together with its mimic, 

 Fscvdargipinis licgcmonc, Godt. (35), from many of the 

 same localities. As is so often the case, the resemblance 

 is closer in the ^ than in the $ . 



Mimicry among ike IHcrinx. 



Three very differently coloured species of Mylothris form 

 the models of three well-marked groups. 



I. Myh)fJirisjacl-so7ii,Fj.M. Sharpe, with white fore wings 

 and sulpliur-yellow hind wings, is only represented by a
