Ideas about the evolution of imperfect mimicry are reviewed. Their relevance to the colours patterns of hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) are discussed in detail.

Most if not all of the hoverflies labelled as mimetic actually are mimics. The apparent... Read More about The evolution of imperfect mimicry.
