TtlRACOLUS. 11 



India. The original specimens, which belong to the dry-season form,--were described 

 by Dr. Butler from specimens procured in the Punjab by Cleneral Hearsay. 

 Colonel Yerbury gives the following note : " A single specimen, Campbellpur, 

 June 29, 1885; found commonly in the Chitta Pahar near Lumbalidun, Kala Dilli, 

 etc., at the end of November and beginning of December." [Cf. Butler, P. Z. S. 

 ISS6, p. 372.) Colonel Swinhoe tells me that he has specimens from Campbellpur, 

 collected in April, June, July, November, and December. He has himself procured the 

 species at Hydrabad in Sind, in July, and on the Hubb Eiver about twenty miles from 

 Karachi in South Sind, in August, September, October, and November. Specimens 

 from Kutch are in the British Museum and in the collection of Mr. H. Grose Smith. 

 Mr. Davidson writes to me : " I have only taken T. protractiis on the Guzerat and 

 Kathiawar Frontier. It was nowhere common and very local." Colonel Swinhoe 

 also informs me that he has specimens from Deesa, taken in the months of July, 

 August, and September. No notes upon the habits of this species appear to have 

 been published.

TERA.COLUS OCELLATUS, Butler.

Teracolus ocellatus, Butler, P. Z. S. 1885, p. 767; E. M. Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1896, p. 535; Guy 

 Marshall, P. Z. S. 1897, p. 10; Butler, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (6), x.x. p. 389 (1897). 



Mai-e. — Intermediate between T. proiractus and T. jjhisadia. As pointed out by 

 Dr. Butler, the margin of the grey base of the wings is restricted and bounded by a 

 straight margin. The secondaries are for the most part lemon-yellow, but are 

 pervaded with a distinct shade of salmon-pink spreading from the costal margin 

 obliquely towards the black border of the hind margin. 



The discoidal black spot on the primaries has a white pupil in the typical 

 example, obtained by Mr. J. G. Thrupp in Somali-land in 1884, and on this 

 character Dr. Butler gave the name of T. ocellatus to the species. In the specimen 

 collected by Dr. A. Donaldson Smith on the Shebeli River, this spot is entirely 

 black, without any sign of a light centre.
