Note 18 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Africa also offers a few striking instances of mimicry in which day-flying moths play a part. The conspicuous Geometer Aletis helcita is an abundant form, and with its strong red colour and black wing margins broken by white it is a striking object in the preserved state. Among the forms which bear a close resemblance to it are the Nymphaline Euphaedra ruspina, and the Lycaenid Telipna sanguinea[18].
