( xiu ) 



are not the individuals which retain the clearest traces of the 

 white bar and white spots. 



Reduction of black also occurs at the end of the cell, 

 although the retention of this marking of the type would 

 perhaps have promoted the resemblance to dorippus — a 

 resemblance certainly attained in the inaria $ of misippus 

 by the persistence of a part of the black markings of the type, 

 as is well shown in figs. 5 and 4 on Plate XIV of Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. for 1905. At the same time, as is also shown on fig. 3 

 of the above plate, the black mark placed at the end of the 

 short cell of poggei is of a very different form from that 

 which partially surrounds the end of the longer cell of 

 dorippus. The resemblance in inaria is mainly attained by 

 the retention of part of the black area altogether beyond the 

 end of its cell, but in a position corresponding with the end 

 of that of dorippus. 



A third black marking reduced in the carpenteri form is 

 the short internervular black streak near the base of area 16 

 (shown faintly in fig. 3 of the above-mentioned plate, but 

 more distinctly in fig. 3a, representing the under surface). 

 This streak, occasionally vestigial on the upper surface of 

 poggei, appears to be always absent or vestigial on this surface 

 of carpenteri. 



In both it remains distinct on the under surface, and when 

 well developed above it is still larger and usually of a deeper 

 black below. In a relatively few of the type form there is a 

 small black spot between the median and the junction of the 

 outermost quarter with the rest of the streak. Below this 

 spot also is more distinct and sometimes fuses with the streak. 



The strongly marked blackened veins of the upper surface 

 of poggei and its variety may be secondarily mimetic of the $ 

 //. misippus and its form inaria. In both mimetic species 

 they are far more prominent than in the models. 



The black spots on the under surface of the hind-wing of 

 both poggei and the form carpenteri are very variable in 

 shape and often asymmetrical. The two small additional 

 spots in areas 4 and 5 observed in a single one out of seventeen 

 specimens from the sources of the Congo and represented in 

 Trans. Ent. Soc, 1905, PI. XIV, fig. 3a, were found in one
