Fig. 9. Phaegorista agaristoides, Boisd. 

 Sierra Leone. 



Fig. 16. Acraea alciope,'H.evf. . Came- 

 roon. The is the same throughout the 

 range of the species. The 5 adopts the appear- 

 ance of at least two models. 



Fig. 17. Planema macaria, Fabr. o^. 

 Sierra Leone. The discal area of the hind- 

 wing upperside is slightly paler in the figure 

 than in the original example. 



Fig. 19. Planema godmani, Butl. o^. 

 Sierra Leone. From an example in the Hope 

 Department. 



Fig. 21. a craea sotikensis, E. M. Sharpe, o^. 

 Kisumu, British East Africa. From an 

 example in the Hope Department. The sexes 

 are similar. 



(Amauris echeria, Plate V.) 



(D. chrysippus, f. dorippus, Plate II.) 



Fig. 27. Planema latifasciata, E. M. 

 Sharpe, o^. Tore, West Uganda. From an 

 example in the Hope Department. The sexes 

 are probably similar. 



Fjg. I. Acvaea encedon,lAun. . Natal. The sexes are similar. 



Fig. 4. Acraea wigginsi, Neave, 5. From the type in the Hope 

 Pepartment. North-east shore of Lake Victoria Nyanza. The sexes 

 are similar. 



Fig. 5. Acraea rni'wa, Neave, o^. North-East Rhodesia. From 

 an example in the South Kensington Museum. The 5 is duller in 

 colour. (See text.) 



Fig. 6. Mimacraea marshalli. Trim. o^. 

 sexes are similar. 



Lualaba Valley. The 



Fig. 8. Cooksonia trimeni, Druce, 5. North-East Rhodesia. 

 Copied by kind permission from Mr. Druce's figure in Trans. Ent. 

 Soc, 1905. 



Fig. 2. Acraea encedon, f. daira,Godm. ^. Dar-es-Salaam. The 

 example figured is usually large. The trace of the white sub-apical 

 bar is still faintly discernible. 



Fig. 7. Mimacraea marshalli, f. dohertyi, K. and ]., . Kikuyu 

 Escarpment. From an example in the Hope Department. The trace 

 of the white bar of marshalli is only just discernible. 



Fig. 3. Acraea encedon, f. alcippina, Auriv. a". Sierra Leone. 

 Examples from this region are frequently much larger than the figure. 

 Th,e model is especially abundant on the west coast. 



Fig. 12. Euphaedra ruspina. Hew. 5. Gaboon. The a" is 

 smaller and has the ground-colour rather paler. 



Fig. 13. Telipna sanguinea, Pl6tz, West Africa. The sexes are 

 similar. 



Fig. 14. Pseudaletis agrippina, Druce, Lagos. From an 

 example in the South Kensington Museum. The specimen is rather 

 worn, and probably presented a richer coloration during life. The 

 sexes do not appear to present important differences. 



Fig. 15. Euptera (Cymothoe) crowleyi. Smith and Kirby, 

 Ogowe. From an example in the South Kensington Museum. 

 Probably a mimic of a yellow form of Aletis. (See text.) 



Fig. 10. Euphaedra eusemoides. Smith and Kirby, 5. Sierra 

 Leone. The example figured was received in the same collection with 

 the moth shown at Fig. 9. 



Fig. 20. Mimacraea fulvaria, Auriv. $. Congo region. West 

 Coast. Copied by kind permission from the figure in ' Rhopalocera 

 Aethiopica '. 



Fig. 29. Elymnias phegea, Fabr. Sierra Leone. From an 

 example in the Hope Department. The sexes are similar, but the 

 colouring of the species varies, and there are varieties mimicking 

 at least two other models. See Plates VII and VIII. The example 

 here figured presents a definite approach to the alciope type of 

 coloration. 



Fig. 18. Mimacraea fulvaria, a" (?). Sierra Leone. From an 

 example in the Hope Department. Though the upperside bears a 

 generally Planemoid appearance, it is on the underside that the 

 mimicry of Planema is most remarkable. 



Fig. 23. Acraea alciope, 5. Sierra Leone. From an example in 

 the Hope Department. The specimen is typical of the West African 

 form of alciope J, and mimics the corresponding forms of Planema. 

 The East African alciope 5 resembles an entirely different Planema. 

 See Plate VIII. 



Fig. 22. Mimacraea poultoni, 'Sea.ve, . Kisumu, British East 

 Africa. From the type in the Hope Department. The upperside 

 colouring is variable. (See text.)

 njaro. From examples in the Hope Department. 



Fig. 26. Acraea johnstoni, f. fulvescens, Ohexth. ci^ . Kilimanjaro. 

 From an example in the Hope Department.
