but it is not uncomrnon, being occasionally found nearly all over ludia." "In the 

 species Ryp. Boliaa, as we find it in Asia, the female only is mimetic, the male in all 

 localities being of the normal form. In India the female universally mimics the 

 common protected butterfly Euploea Core,* Cramer. The typical E. Gore does not 

 range very far South, one or two have been taken in Mergui, but there is no record 

 of its more southern extension, its place being taken by other common black 

 Euploeas of somewhat similar pattern. We find accordingly, that H. Bolina varies 

 so as to resemble all the common Euploens of the different islands of the Malay 

 Archipelago. In Sumatra it is known as Hyp. anomala, and mimics Isamia (Euploea) 

 singajnira."
