Butterfly Mimicks op Species of Salatuka. — 8. genutia is mimicked in Upper 

 India by the females of Elymnias undularis ; in South India by the females of jE7. 

 caudata, and in Ceylon by the females of E. fraterna. According to Colonel 

 Swinhoe, ;S'. hegesippus is mimicked in Rangoon, Burma, by the females of an 

 Elymnias (? tinctoria) having similar whitish hindwings.
