PLATE III
ORIENTAL MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES

The three upper figures are those of moths, and the three lower ones are those of butterflies.
1.	Alcidis agathyrsus	(New Guinea)
2.	Papilio laglaizei	(N"w Gui"
The moth is here supposed to serve as a model for the far rarer Papilio.
3.	Cyclosia hestinioides
4.	Ideopsis daos
The butterfly is very common and must be regarded as the model, the rarer moth as the mimic.
5.	Epicopeia polydora	(Assam)
6.	Papilio bootes	(As"
Both of these species are to be regarded as mimics of the abundant Pharmacophagus Papilio, P. polyxenus, which is very like P. bootes in appearance.
