 - . motion toward; oijua, a sign, mark, token]. In 

 Diology. the displaying of a lure or false safety-sign. 

 :ed by Poulton to those cases of mimicry (a) in 

 1 an animal resembles another animal, and is so 

 'ed to approach and injure it in some way, or (b) 

 n which some lure is employed ; thus, (i) the flies of 

 he genus Volucella are enabled to lay their eggs in 

 lests of bumble-bees by reason of their close resem- 

 blance to the latter ; the larvae of the fly feed on those 

 if the bee ; (2) the Asiatic lizard, Phrynocephalus 

 j nystaceus, possesses pink, flower-like structures at the 

 orners of its mouth, by which flies are allured; or 

 5) the Terrapin, Afalacoclemmys temminckii of the 

 hern States of America, when hungry, opens its 

 nouth and moves about two filaments at the tip of 

 ■ngue ; they look like worms moving in a crevice 

 e rock and therefore attract prey ; the animal is 

 j therwise perfectly motionless, and looks like a weed- 

 rock.
