It is evident from the above numbers that Mr. Wiggins 
did not think it worth while to send many f f of misippus. 
Consequently the true proportion of the occurrence of this 
species is not obtainable. Two specimens of a new Acrea, 
both 22 (A. wigginsii, mihi), exhibit a remarkable syna- 
posematic resemblance to A. encedon and indirectly to ZL. 
chrysippus. The species is allied to and intermediate in 
many respects between A. bomba, Grose-Smith, and A. 
anacreontica, Grose-Smith. It differs from both these 
species 1n possessing a subapical white bar. This being 
probably a mimetic and not an ancestral character it 1s 
possible that the ff, not yet known, may not have it. 
TIRUMALA PETIVERANA GROUP. 
The black and green Tirwmala limniace petiverana, Dbl. 
and Hew. (67), an abundant species, was taken in five 
different localities. 
Of its mimic Papilio leonidas, Fabr., eight specimens 
were collected. Also two specimens of Huxanthe crossleyr 
ansorget, R. and J., which is probably an outlying member 
of the group. 
Melinda formosa, Godm., and I. mercedonia, Karsch, 
with the mimetic Papilio rex, Oberth. (hitherto considered 
the mimic of the Danaine), occur in both collections and 
are of considerable interest. Their distribution is as 
follows—

Nyangori, a few miles north-east of the Lake shore, is 
apparently the eastern boundary of MW. mercedonia, and 
from this locality come all the five specimens recorded 
above. West and north-west of the Lake mercedonia is
