464 ON AN EXAMPLE OF PROTECTIVE MIMICRY. [Juiie 16, 



Fig. 3. A group of Coosliie Ants, all except one carrjing leaves. On the 

 right of the figure the Homopterous insect is represented. The figure 

 is intended to show how complete the resemblance must be when the 

 Steffaspis is near a group of ants. It is improbable, however, that the 

 Steffaspis would be found among the ants on the ground as represented 

 in the Plate. The figures of ants were chiefly adapted from Miss 

 Kelly's sketches.
