Mayer. — Color ancl Color-Patterns. 
PLATE 6. 
Color-patterns of the Melpomene group of Heliconius and of the genus 
Eueides. 
Fig. 70. H. melpomene, the type of the Melpomene group. See p. 286, and 
Fig. 59, Plate 4. 
Fig. 71. H. melpomene var. callicopis, showing the breaking up of the red 
area of the primaries. 
Fig. 72. H. melpomene var. cybele ; the fore wing has assumed a color-pattern 
which recalls the “ Melinaea type” of coloration found in the 
Danaoid Heliconidae. 
Fig. 73. H. thelxiope, derived phylogenetically from H. melpomene, and 
showing a rather close approach to the “ Melinaea type ” of color¬ 
ation. See p. 286. 
Fig. 74. H. vesta. 
Fig. 75. Eueides thales $ ; represented to show the close resemblance of its 
color-pattern to H. vesta. See p. 286. 
Figs. 76, 77. E. mereaui and E. aliphera. E. mereaui is intermediate in color- 
pattern between E. thales and E. aliphera. 
Fig. 78. Eueides cleobaea, to show the close approach of this insect to the 
“Melinaea type” of coloration.
