TEEAGOLUS. 39 



Secondaries white, tlie black veins plainly indicated, the first, second and third 

 discoidal nervules terminating in minute black spots on the hind-margin. 



Underside. — Differs from that of T. chromifenis in the nearly obsolete yellow apex 

 of the primaries ; the neui'ation of both wings decidedly pronounced ; the secondaries 

 of the palest yellow, but with the inner margin slightly darker ; the costal margin 

 with a faint basal streak of orange, but more restricted than in the foregoing species ; 

 the dark transverse baud on tlie secondaries only faintly visible. Expanse 2 "5 5 

 inches. {Spec. ex. Teita; Coll. F. J. Jachon.) 



Female. — Distinguished from the female of T. chromiferus by the much broader 

 brownish-black apical patch and the broader hind-margin on the primaries ; the 

 apical area showing a post-median row of five hastate spots. Of these five spots, the 

 three median ones are crimson and the anterior and posterior ones are white. 

 Between the first and second median nervules occurs a black spot, and a similar one 

 is situated between the first median nervule and the sub-median nervure. The black 

 spot at the end of the discoidal cell is smaller than in T. chromiferus. 



Secondaries. — White, the nervules terminating in large brownish-black spots, the 

 same colour radiating along the veins so as to make the border appear strongly 

 dentated on its inner aspect. The base of both the primaries and secondaries is 

 clearly dusted with grey. 



Underside. — Primaries similar to those of T. chromiferus, but with the apical area 

 and hind-margin of a somewhat deeper yellow shade. Secondaries entirely 

 ochraceous yellow, the marginal border violaceous-brown, with a transverse band 

 of the same colour. There are also faint wavy specklings of brown over the hind- 

 wing, especially near the base. Expanse 2"55 inches. {Spec. ex. Teita; Coll. F. J. 

 Jackson.) 



The male and female above described represent the "wet-season" form of 

 T. puniceus as determined by Dr. Butler. The male was procured by Mr. Jackson 

 on the march from the coast to Teita in December 1891. In the same month and 

 in the same district, Mr. Jackson also obtained a male answering to what Dr. Butler 

 considers to be the " dry-season " form, on which he founded the species. It is, as 

 he justly observes, smaller than the " wet-season " form, and has the black veining 

 much less distinctly indicated. The underside of this " dry-season " specimen has 

 the secondaries entirely sandy-pink with a transverse band of brownish spots across 

 half the wing. The primaries are white below, with the apical area indicated 

 by a patch of sandy-pink. Expanse 2*2 inches. {Spec. ex. Teita ; Coll. F. J. 

 Jackson.) 



As with the males, we find the females of the " dry-season " form very much smaller 

 than those of tlie " wet-season " form. A female from the Second Kedong liiver,
