with regard to Eriocrania; Dr. Chapman replied that the 

 latter had lost an abdominal segment like the Lepidoptera. 



Mr. Bethune-Baker pointed out that though both 

 Micropteryx and Eriocrania had scales, they were quite 

 different from those of the (other) Lepidoptera, and that 

 the $ organs also differed.

Exhibitions. 



Some new and little-known examples op resemblance 

 in Butterflies. — Mr. G. Talbot, on behalf of Mr. J. J. 

 Joicey, exhibited : — ■ 



1. Chinese examples. — A remarkable form of the genus 

 Rahinda, which strongly resembles Danaida tytia, Gray. 

 This was described as Neptis imitans, Ob., but the neuration 

 agrees more with Rahinda than with any other genus. In 

 size and pattern it departs widely from the known species 

 of Rahinda. Associated with this mimic in China are the 

 well-known ones : Papilio restricta, Leech, and Heslina nama, 

 Doubl. 



Atliyma punctata, Leech, and Limenitis albomaculata, 

 Leech, are w^ell known to resemble one another closely in 

 the male. The very rare females also resemble one another, 

 and are brown like the similarly coloured Neptis, as for ex- 

 ample, N. chinensis, Leech. The $ of Abrota pratti, Leech, 

 also enters into this association, in colour and pattern. 



2. South American. — A remarkable new species of Vila, 

 of which we possess three specimens from the Upper Amazons
