Praetaxila poultoni and Immetalia saturata longipalpis 365 



mimicked African Geometric! moth Aletis, also resembled by a butterfly, 

 Euphaedra ruspina Westw., and some forms of E. eleus Drury. 



Note by G. Talbot. 



With the exception of eromena Jord., which occurs in the Snow 

 Mountains, no other Praetaxila is known which is at all like poultoni. 

 In eromena the sexes are similar to the sexes of 'poultoni. 



The Agaristid Immetalia saturata Walk., ranges from Buru and 

 the North Moluccas to New Guinea and New Ireland, whilst Argyrole- 

 pidia is confined to New Guinea as far as is known. 



The Immetalia has dimorphic, trimorphic, and tetramorphic forms, 

 sometimes occurring in the same area, and in which the white and 

 orange bands are transposed in the same sex and between the sexes. 



For full details of the distribution of the Agaristid, reference should 

 be made to Seitz, Macrolep, xi, Agaristidae, by Dr. K. Jordan. 



Figures of the Praetaxila and the two Agaristids will be published 

 in Part III.
