interest that both treated misippus 2 (mimetic) as distaste- 
ful. This strengthens the view that it is a Miillerian

Remarks on PreRtDaAR. 
The majority of the species dealt with, classed by the 
colours of the under-surface, are procryptic. The only 
aposematic species (No. 170) was treated by My as highly 
objectionable, and also by M, as distasteful. It is curious | 
that the extremely procryptic Eronia cleodora, No. 264, 
was found distasteful by both monkeys: the very abundant 
near ally, No. 174, was also classed as distasteful : perhaps 
this section of the Pieridae as a whole may have inherited 
a distasteful quality not lost by some of the most procryptic
