114 LEPIDOPTERA INDIGA. 



MiMiCKY. — The male is a mimic, probably, of tlie Liranaine butterfly Paralitica 

 melanoides, of the Nymphaline genus Hestiiia, and of the Papiiionine Cadugoides 

 Agestor. The female is, probably, also a mimic of the same sex of the Limnaine 

 Trepsichrois Linnxi, and of the mimetic Papiiionine, Chilasa dissimilis. 



Distribution. — The type of P. Xenocles is recorded to be from Silhet. Col. C. 

 Swinhoe received it from the " Khasia Hills " (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 315). Mr. J. 

 "Wood-Mason records " a male taken iu May at Durgakuna, Cachar " (J. As. Soc. 

 Beng. 1887, 376). Specimens were taken by Dr. G. Watt "near Manipur " (Ann. 

 N. H. 1885, 384). 



Our illustrations on Plate 516, figs. 2, 2a, are from a Khasia specimen of male 

 and female.
