214 Mr. S. A. Neave: some bionomie 
may be conveniently taken as the same model. They 
both seem common in nearly every locality except the 
more exposed and open plains. There were 176 specimens 
from various localities in the two collections, but Mr. 
Wiggins speaks of them as his “ pet aversion,” explaining 
that “they were enormously abundant. The best mimics 
of these species in the collection are :— 
Huralia mima, Trim. (16), mostly from the west shore of 
the Lake. 
Papilio homeyert, Plotz, 36 £f and 3 2, of which the 
latter only are mimetic. 
Papilio dardanus °, f. cenea, Stoll. 
This form of the ? did not occur in the Wiggins 
collection, but there are three specimens in the Harrison 
coll. from Nyangori, near the north-east shore of the 
Lake. 
As Professor Poulton has pointed out, loc. cit. p. 485, 
there isa very remarkable secondary resemblance between 
these mimics. The 2? of P. homeyeri, which does not occur 
in the group mentioned by him, further bears this out, 
having an actually closer resemblance to Huralia mima 
than to Amawris echeria itself. There are also in the collec- 
tion some other less good mimics of A. echeria lying on 
the outskirts of the group, comprising :—Hypolimnas 
dinarcha, Hew., the forms of Pseudacrea lucretia, and a 
number of the smaller Acrvas such as A. servona, Godm., 
A. circeis, Dewitz, A.oreas, Sharpe, and its form albimaculata, 
and especially A. johnston, f. flaveseens. Neptis woodwardi, 
Sharpe, also comes into the same group. 
For a full account of the convergence between many 
species of Acrwa, including most of the above-mentioned, 
and species of Amauris, see Professor Poulton’s paper, read 
before Section D of the British Association at Toronto, 
Sore 
LIMNAS CHRYSIPPUS GROUP. 
Tee chrysippus, L, (342) and Hypolimnas misippus, 
L. (160), were abundant. in every locality. They were 
somewhat less numerous in forest districts. 
Acrva encedon, L. (442), was also very common every- 
where.
