Lulangiiru foggei out of twenty-nine examined, and, of a 

 much smaller size, in one carpenteri, and still smaller and in 

 area 5 of the righi side only in another, out of eighl examined. 

 In a lew specimens of both forms the lower discocellular is 

 blackened on one or both sides, representing a vestige of the 

 lower of these two additional spots. 



The occasional appearance of these minute spots and an 

 additional one in the hind-wing cell, as well as the variable 

 condition of the basal streak in area lb are of much interest, 

 for they represent features strongly marked in Pseudacraea 

 clarkii, Butl. In this latter species the spots appear on the 

 upper surface, although more strongly developed, as also the 

 streak, on the under (Trans. Ent. Soc, 1892, PI. X, figs. 1, la). 



The evanescence of the oblique white bar and white spots. — 

 The transformation is effected by the scales becoming in part 

 of a pale orange colour and in part of a darker orange, like 

 the ground-colour of the fore-wing. In some individuals a 

 relatively few, and in one (out of eight carefully examined) 

 a high proportion, of the white scales are retained — a per- 

 sistence especially marked in the pair of submarginal spots 

 in areas 2 and 3. The pair of spots or only one of the pair 

 in area lb are cpiite as often present in carpenteri as in the 

 type, and these also, although very small, tend to retain the 

 white scales. In both type and variety this pair is often 

 present or better developed on the under surface when absent 

 from the upper or feebly developed on it. It is probable 

 that the whiteness of these pairs of spots, especially those in 

 areas 2 and 3, is mimetic of the marginal pattern of dorippus 

 which is strongly developed in the same areas, especially in 3. 



Although always obvious on examination by its paleness 

 as compared with the ground-colour, the oblique bar would 

 be invisible in flight or at a little distance during rest. Its 

 edges, especially the inner, are dyslegnic, contrasting sharply 

 with the eulegnic bar of foggei. The costal extremity of the 

 latter bar is formed by a line white streak, of which traces 

 arc often retained by carpenteri, suggesting at first sight 

 mimicry of the costal spots of dorippus, but it is unlikely 

 thai so line a streak would be visible. In inaria, however, 

 the retention of the costal extremity of the same feature,
