BUTTERFLIES OF THE CENTRAL PROVINCES. 319 



and in some specimens there is a very large rust-coloured splash on 

 the costa close to the apex of the forewing. 



88. Terias cesiope, J\lcnctries. This is very like the former 

 butterfly, but the buck border to the wings is more even, and that on 

 the forewing is not so much indented. The marks ou the underside 

 differ, being more of the nature of streaks and of a black colour. 



89. Terias rubella, Wallace. This is very like the last, but the 

 blac'.v border to the wings has a distinct brick-dust-red fringe, and 

 the veins on the hindwing are defined with yellow, as they pass 

 through the border. The wings underneath are fringed with a 

 narrow reddish border. 



90. Terias Iceta, Boisdnval. At first sight this closely resembles 

 the butterflies of this genus already described, but it can be at once 

 distinguished by the different shape of the forewing at the apex, 

 which is pointed instead of being rounded as in the others. The 

 hindwing underneath is marked in quite a different manner, being 

 more or less clouded all over with a reddish-brown hue, which is 

 concentrated in two places into bars, the upper of which is longer 

 than the lower. The male has a differently-shaped and placed 

 "sexual mark" to species of the hecabe group. All the four butter- 

 flies just described are very common and are found everywhere. 

 They have a weak flight and are easily captured. They sometimes 

 settle in swarms on damp spots on the ground. The larvas feed ou 

 various kinds of leguminous plants. 



91. Terias harina, Horsfield. I have captured only one speci- 

 men of this species. It is a larger butterfly than those already 

 described and is altogether of a lighter colour, bearing the same rela- 

 tion in this respect to its congeners as the " clouded-yellow" and 

 "pale clouded-3 T ellow" do at home. While the others remind one 

 of the colour of the Indian oriole, Oriolus hundoo, this reminds one 

 of the colour of a primrose. The only relief to the uniform pale 

 yellow is a dark tip to the forewing ou the upperside. I took one 

 specimen in Kalahandi. It has no " sexual-mark " in the male. 



92. Catopsilia catilla, Cramer. The butterflies of this genus are 

 very common, each of the four species to be mentioned being about 

 equally so. C. catilla is the largest of these to be found in the Central 

 Provinces. The males are pale yellow, almost white, but this deepens
