BoTTEBFLY MiMicKS OP Indian Species OF Ceastia. — Certain species of the Papi- 



lionid genus Chilasa, in colour and pattern of markings, resemble the following 



species of Crastia, — namely, Chilasa Panope mimicks the G. vermiculata, Chilasa 



Casyapa the G. Gore, Chilasa Lankeswara, of Ceylon, the G. Asela of that island, and 



Chilasa Onpape, of Burma, the G. Layardi ; these four species of Chilasa also having 



the relatively-decreasing size of the marginal markings on both wings, as is the case in 



the four consecutively above-mentioned species of Grastia. The female of a species 



of the Nymphalid genus Hypolimnas, namely H. Bolina, is also an excellent mimick of 



G. Gore.
