This species of Teracolus, as far as my evidence goes, seems to be confined to 

 Somali Land. It appears to be a small race of T. evar/ie, but with characteristics 

 siifBcient, I think, to distinguish it from that .species, though it has been united to 

 T. evarne by Mr. Guy Marshall in his "Monograph." He observes: " T. pMUipsii 

 is founded on dwarfed specimens; it shows an unbroken gradation into the typical 

 form." 



Dr. Butler, on the other hand, considers it to be worthy of specific distinction, 

 and he writes as follows : " This is a well-defined local representative of T. evarne 

 most nearly approaching the varietal form T. Uayore in character. In all its seasonal 

 phases it is much more lightly marked and paler in colouring than T. evarne, as well 

 as slightly smaller than in the corresponding phases of T. evarne. The ground 

 colouring is always white, with the pale orange apical patch very faintly tinted with 

 yellow along the inner edge ; the marginal bordering, even of the wet season male, is 

 comparatively weak, while the secondaries are always unspotted. The female in the 

 wet-season has the upper surface marked almost as in the dry-season female of T. 

 evarne, while the intermediate type, which is smaller, has the female still less marked 

 above and striated below with greenish-olive ; the dry-season form is very small, the 

 male without marginal markings, the female very faintly marked, but both sexes rosy 

 and more or less striated below."
