Abstract
I HAVE just been reading the presidential address to the Entomological Society on the subject of mimicry, and one or two statements with regard to mimicry among the Heterocera seem to me to stand in need of correction. It is stated on the authority of Colonel Swinhoe that Teracolus etrida is accurately mimicked by the geometer Abraxas etridoides, and that this supports his contention that the species of Teracolus are protected.
