With this species commences an entirely new group of the genus Teracolus, 

 characterised by a large apical orange patch on the primaries instead of the purple 

 patch which distinguished the species of the preceding section. Dr. Butler described 

 the female from JMamboio, and the male was described as C. vulnerata by Staudinger. 

 Mr. Guy Marshall (P. Z. S. 1897, p. 26) considered T. vulnerata (Staud.) to be the 

 " dry-season " form of T. iucrctus, but Dr. Butler (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xx. 

 p. 45-i (1897), thinks that this is a mistake, as both " wet-" and " dry-" season forms are 

 in the British Museum. The latter, lie says, " is very rosy beneath, the male having 

 the apical half and the secondaries, excepting towards the apex, fleshy sienna, trans- 

 versely striated with brown and more or less spotted ; there is also frequently ii 

 longitudinal dusky streak from the base through the lower half of the discoidal cell in 

 the secondaries."
