genus is mimicked by a species in one of the groups into which the 

 old genus JDavais has been separated ; of the others, 1 1 genera 

 are mimicked by species of the other groups into which the old 

 genus Evplcea has been divided. 



In Table III., Group 13 {one " sexual mark " on the fore wing) 

 is divided into 15 genera : 1 1 of these are mimicked by species of the 

 other groups. 



In Table IV., Group C (glandular patch on the kitid wing only) 

 is divided into 4 genera, 3 of which are mimicked by species of tlie 

 other groups. 



In Table V., Group D {one sexual mark on the fore wing, and a 

 glandular patch on the hind wing) is divided into 12 genera, 9 of 

 which are mimicked by species of the other groups. 



In Table VI., Group E {two sexual marks on the fore wing) is 

 divided into 3 genera, each of which genera and mostly all tiie 

 species, are mimicked by species of the other groups. 



Following these Tables I have drawn out one (Table VII.) in 

 which are given " typical examples of a mimetic set of species, 

 collated from each of the five groups into which Euplcea has been 

 primarily divided. This Table also shows a comparative view of 

 their structural characters.
