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



Fie. 3. A group of Cooshie Ants, all except one carrying leaves. On the 

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

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

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

 Stegaspis 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.
