The synonymy of the Pseudacraeae required considerable 

 modification if we might assume from Dr. Jordan's researches 

 and Dr. Carpenter's breeding experiments that the close 

 allies of Ps. eurytus., L., were an interbreeding community. 

 Prof. Poulton had consulted Dr. Jordan on the subject and 

 he had agreed that it would be desirable to introduce the 

 term "f. mim." ["forma, mimetica") for the diverse forms of 

 such a species as eurytus or the females of Papilio dardaniis. 

 The following names would now express the relationship 

 between the forms of eurytus in the Uganda district. 



The name poggeoides was suggested for female forms with 

 the pattern of tirikensis, but a forewing colouring approxi- 

 mating to that of hobleyi. It would probably be found, when 

 a long series was examined, that the orange bar of poggeoides 

 was paler than that of hobleyi, just as poggei nelsoni was, in 

 this respect, paler than macarista S. In addition to the above 

 mimetic forms there were many intermediates, but these were 

 usually so transitional that it was undesix-able to give them 

 names. To one of them, with a rather more definite pattern 

 than usual — connecting terra with hobleyi and tirikensis — the
