TERACOLVS. 65 



oclireous-yellow in tint and faintly sprinkled with thin wavy lines. Secondaries 

 entirely reddish-hurt", thickly vermiculated, with the discal transverse band darker 

 and more complete on the contour of the wing. 



Expanse 2"2 inches. (Spec, ex Mah:erit, Natal ; Cecil II. Barker; Triineii Coll.) 

 A second form of the female (Fig. lb) differs from that above described in having 

 the apical area of the primaries black instead of orange, with three yellowish-white 

 spots varying in size, in somewhat strong contrast. A large and similarly coloured 

 spot breaks the black hind-marginal border near the posterior angle ; the inner 

 margin is brownish-black, with the basal ai'ea dark and thickly sprinkled with 

 greenish-grey. Secondaries yellowish-white, shaded with grey at the base of the 

 wing, with the brownish-black hastate nervular spots on the hind-margin strongly 

 indicated, as well as the transverse discal line. 



Underside. — Primaries yellowish-white, the apical area yellow, crossed by a post- 

 median row of black spots, one large spot being situated about the middle of the 

 inner margin ; the basal area greenish with darker shading. Secondaries pale ochre- 

 yellow, deepening in tint towards the basal area, the nervules black ; the usual dark 

 transverse discal band well indicated, but more broken up towards the inner 

 margin. 



Expanse 3 inches. {Spec, e.v Malceru, Natal ; Cecil H. Barker; Trimen Coll.) 

 "Dry-season " form of Male. — General aspect very similar to that of T. difficilis, 

 the markings being also similar. 



Underside. — Apical area of the primaries and secondaries somewhat paler in 

 colour. In other respects the spots and markings agree with those of T. difficilis. 

 Expanse 2'2 inches. {Spec, ex Khaina's Coiintri/ ; Cecil H. Barker ; Trimen Coll.) 

 " Dry-season " form of Female. — Central area of the primaries entirely creamy- 

 white, faintly shaded with grey at the base ; the orange apical patch brighter. 

 Secondaries with only the first two nervular spots on the hind-margin fairly 

 indicated. 



Underside. — Central area entirely white, the dai'k post-median row of spots near 

 the apex smaller and nearly obsolete. Secondaries much darker, but otherwise not 

 differing from T. difficilis.
