 reason for special development in 

 S. America of Miillerian mimicry 

 and, 248. 



Examples of \ see classification 

 of examples of Protective and 

 Miillerian Mimicry, 383-93. (The 

 examples are not discriminated 

 inasmuch as the interpretation is 

 still under discussion : see p. 328.) 

 Batesian or Miillerian interpreta- 

 tion of examples provisional in 

 many cases, 328; the clearest 

 examples of Batesian, 367, 376; 

 development of, in Insecta, 367 ; 



captured on one day, in Hope 

 Department, 248, 249; examples in 

 text (except the Leeds series), chiefly 

 selected from Ethiopian and Neo- 

 tropical Regions, 370.

 cry? 393 > place of in bionomic uses of 

 colour,226; directive characters ('eye- 

 spots ') may be examples of, 325, 326 ;

 semblance of Volucella to humble- 

 bees, and Asilidae to their victims

mira, Myrmoplasta, mimicking ant, 

 254, 255 (Fig. 3). 



misippus, Hypolimnas, female of, 

 mimicking L. chrysippus, three 

 forms of female mimicking respec- 

 tively three forms of model, 355, 372 ; 

 three forms of mimetic female tran- 

 sitional, while two out of three corre- 

 sponding forms of model are sharply 

 marked off, 364, 365 n. i ; probably 

 a Miillerian mimic, and specially de- 

 fended, 215-17, 247; dominance of, 

 216; extends beyonds its model into 

 New World, 216, 247, 347; powers 

 of flight, 216 ; swarm of, observed in 

 mid-Atlantic, 216 n. 2; conspicuous- 

 ness of male, 216, 217 ; ancestral ap- 

 pearance of male, 216, 245 ; male pat- 

 tern mimicked by males of two butter- 

 flies in W. China far beyond its 

 range, 217, 218, 381, 382; mimicry 

 of male perhaps due to attacks of 

 migratory birds, 217, 218, 382; such 

 a cause, if confirmed, would prove 

 growth of mimicry by selection alone, 

 361.
