Papilio Calais of Cramer was described from the Cape of Good Hope, but no 

 species of this group of Teracolus is known from the Cape Colony, and Cramer's 

 habitat for the species is therefore no doubt erroneous. Dr. Butler identifies 

 Angolan specimens in the British Museum as typical T. calais (Cramer), and I have 

 figured specimens from this locality, though the illustrations given by Cramer have 

 doubtless faded in colour, and are now somewhat difficult to identify. Other 

 specimens from Aden also match fairly well with Cramer's figures. I agree with 

 Dr. Butler and ^Mr. Guy Marshall that T. dynamene (King) is inseparable as a 

 species from T. Calais. 



T. Calais differs from the Indian T. amatiis in having the second black spot on 

 the primaries, the one just above the sub-median nervure, much larger and in no 

 case evanescent, as it is in the Indian and Ceylonese examples. I have never seen 

 a white female of true T. calais from Africa, but the female, as will be noticed from 

 the figure (Plate 1, fig. lb) has always a considerable amount of orange towards the 

 base of both primaries and secondaries. Again, T. calais always has more distinct 

 salmon-coloured spots near the apex of the primaries, forming a second row of these 

 spots towards the tips of the wings. In T. umatus and its darker form, T. modestn^.
