504 MR. TRIMEN ON MIMETIC ANALOGIES AMONG AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



as a rule *, present, with equal exactness, tlie appearance of the butterflies imitated. It 

 would almost appear from this that the Nymjjhalide imitators stood in need of a more 

 complete protection than the mimicking Papiliones ; and I tind that, in general, they 

 are comparatively fewer in individuals than the latter. 



The following Table exhibits a view of the more striking cases of mimicry that have 

 com.e under my notice, and also indicates the localities in which each model and its 

 copies are known to occur together : — 



Tabular View of the most remarkable Mimetic Analogies among African Rhopalocera, with the Localities in which the 



several Species concerned in each case are known to co-exist. 



* Diadema Boli-na is a notable exception.
