Mimicry. —The male is a mimic, probably, of the Limnaine butterfly Parantica 
melanoides , of the Nymphaline genus Hestina , and of the Papilionine Cadugoides 
Agestor. The female is, probably, also a mimic of the same sex of the Limnaine 
Trejpsichrois Linnsd , and of the mimetic Papilionine, Chilasa dissimilis . 
Distribution. —The type of P. Xenocles is recorded to be from Silhet. Col. C. 
Swinhoe received it from the “ Khasia Hills ” (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 315). Mr. J. 
Wood-Mason records “a male taken in May at Durgakuna, Cacliar ” (J. As. Soc. 
Beng. 1887, 376). Specimens were taken by Dr. G. Watt “near Manipur ” (Ann. 
1ST. H. 1885, 384). 
Our illustrations on Plate 516, figs. 2, 2a, are from a Khasia specimen of male 
and female.
