from C. Brazil a form of amathusia which was shortly blue- 
streaked with a few narrow red streaks through it; from 
Chiriqui the forms viridis, luminosa, transiens, and from the 
San Esteban Valley, N.W. Venezuela, a white blotched form of 
eratonia for which he proposed the name swavior, and a white 
blotched form of metharmina for which he proposed the 
name fascinator. Many other examples were exhibited from 
different localities. Mr. Kaye considered it was only confusing 
to say, as Riffarth and Stichel had done, that many of these 
forms split up into subspecies; while in several cases the 
statements could not be accepted as true. The form tecta was 
considered by them a form of the subspecies H. doris viridis, 
while obscura was treated as a form of the subspecies H. doris 
doris, yet both of these forms occurred together at Jimenez 
in W. Colombia at an elevation of 1,600 ft. Again, the 
form aristomache could not be regarded as a subspecies as 
it graded into typical doris in the localities where it was 
found, and similarly transiens graded into eratonia, and the 
forms were not geographically separated, although tending to 
become so. 
Minicry (?) in Erepras.—Dr. CHAPMAN exhibited some 
Krebias, on which he made the following observations :— 
At Le Lautaret in Dauphiny last July I captured some 
Erebias, and Mr. H. J. Turner has handed me some taken by 
him at Karer See in Tyrol. These specimens have reminded 
me of a communication to this Society by Mr. Tutt on 
November 4, 1896, and one by myself to the E. M. M. of May 
1901. These various observations seem worth bringing 
together, as they show that at Lautaret Hrebia melampus 
and E. ceto assume forms very closely resembling Hrebia 
pharte as it occurs there, and that at Guarda (Lower Engadine) 
and at Karer See the same species is closely copied by Hrebia 
manto. E. pharte is involved in each instance, being closely 
approached at Le Lautaret by both H#. melampus and E. ceto 
and in the two other localities by #. manto. 
I have no facts to enable me to say that this is a case of 
mimicry of any sort, though it looks very like it, or whether 
it may be due to some influence climatic or other that pro- 
duces a resemblance between all the species that may be
