THE FOOD-PLANT OF TERACOLUS NOUN A, Lucas (Stgb-Rbi-., 80a). 



BY THE RIGHT HON. LORD WALSINGHAM, M.A., LL.D., F.R.S., &c. 



I have to-day had the pleasure of setting a bred specimen of Tera- 

 colus dnira, Klug + nouna, Lucas, of which I believe the larva has been 

 previously unknown. My Italian valet Sola found the first larva, 

 apparently full-fed, on February 17th feeding on the under-side of 

 leaves of Capparis spinosa, L. ; this larva pupated a few days later, 

 but the chrysalis has apparently died. A second larva which I found 

 on March 5th produced a fine ,$ to-day (8.IY). Capparis grows in 

 the crevices among rocks along the ridges of the hills behind Ham- 

 mam-es-Salahin here, at about half the total elevation of the range, 

 but is not a very abundant plant anywhere. Several bushes were 

 much eaten, I presume by this larva, as well as by a mining larva of 

 one of the Micro-Lepidoptera not yet bred, but I have seen only two 

 larvae of Teracolus nouna here, and as the Rhopalocera possess for me 

 a rather inferior interest I made no description. The prevailing 

 colour of the larva was green, but at the last change of skin both 

 assumed a brownish tinge and greatly resembled the ordinary forms 

 of the genus Euchloe (Anfhocharis). Although there can be no 

 doubt that the butterfly is already on the wing, since I had a pupa 

 about February 25th, no less than three collectors, beside myself, in- 

 tent on its capture have so far failed to see a specimen this season, 

 and on the last occasion, less than a week ago, when I was on the 

 spot in favourable weather, it was certainly not flying among tlie 

 plant on which I found the larvae.
