512 Rev. K. St. Aubyn Rogers' Bionomic Notes on 



presence of its models, and the specimens of this par- 

 ticular form of the female with a brown patch on the 

 hind-wing were taken in the coast localities from which 

 the Danaine model is in my experience absent, although 

 it is common near Voi, 100 miles inland. These captures 

 of galenc in the coast localities were as follows : — Kaya 

 Kauma (Au^,'. 21, 1903), Rabai (May 10, 1906). Jilore 

 (July 16, 1906), Ndzovuni (July 21 and Oct. 5, 1906).

Aterica galenc bears some superficial resemblance in 

 colour to A'lnaicris alhimacvlata, but its habits are quite 

 different. Like all this group it is fond of sitting on the 

 ground in paths of woods where there is much light and 

 shade. If disturbed it merely flies a little way and settles 

 again. 



Acra^a johnstoni and NcjJtis woodwardi bear somewhat 

 the same relation to this group as Plancmct aganice and 

 its Pseudacrma mimic bear to the black white and A. 

 niavius dominicanics group, viz. the relation of a pair of 

 secondarily associated butterflies which are also members 

 of a large combination surrounding a primary Danaine 

 model. Both Acriea and Neptis resemble each other in 

 habits, and on the wing it is difficult to distinguish them. 

 Their appearance is, generally speaking, not dissimilar 

 from that of the primary model in spite of its much greater 

 size.] 



[Ealai, Sept. 30, 1906. 



Of those new to me [in Kikuyu] the most interesting 

 was a species of NcjJtis [N. woodwardi] which seems to 

 have been modified so as to resemble Acra^a johnstoni, 

 though the resemblance is not very close.] 



Professor Poulton has added to this account of the 

 Nymphaline mimics of the Amauris echcria-smd-alhijnacii- 

 ^ate'Centred combination a comparison of the specimens of 

 Neptis wood'wardi captured far to the W. of the Rift Valley 

 with those taken by me just E. of it.

It is very interesting to compare the 8 specimens of 

 Ncj)tis looodwardi, E. M. Sbarpe, obtained by Mr. St. Aubyn 

 Rogers on the eastern heights overlooking the Rift Valley, 

 with the equal number captured by Mr. C. A. Wiggins
