BUTTERFLIKS OF BORNEO. 103 



149. Hypolimnas anomala, Wall. 



Diadema anomala, Wallace, Trans. E;it. Soc. Lond. 1869, 

 p 285. 



Malay Peninsula, Great Sunda Is. Nias, Amboina, 

 Philippines. 



[The female is a close mimic of Euploea clandius 

 mulciber $ , some males have also a blue gloss on the 

 forewings and then mimic E. clandius mulciber £ , others 

 have no blue gloss and mimic Euploea crameri. The 

 species has the flaunting flight so typical of the Danaime. 

 It seems very likely that this wide-spread genus is a 

 protected one and that the mimicry of Danaines by the 

 various species is Miillerian mimicry as opposed, to 

 Batesian.]
