TEBACOLUS. 115 



Underside. — Central area of the primaries wliitish, the basal area and apical area 

 pale yellow. Secondaries sandy-yellow, without any spots or markings^ 



Expanse 1*1 inches. (Spec, ex " Upper Egypt" \ Consul Peiherkk ; M>is,.Brif.) 



Habitat. — "Upper Egypt" {Consul Petherick ; Mits. Brit.). Ambukol, Nubia 

 (A'%). 



This species seems to be rare, as there are only tliree examples in the British 

 Museum, ;ill of wliich I have figured. I agree with Dr. Butler in keeping this species 

 distinct. The females associated with T. ephyia in the British Museum by Dr. Butler 

 were wrongly identified, as Mr. Guy Marshall has pointed out : in this Dr. Butler 

 agrees. Mr. Guy Marshall considered that they were inseparable from the females of 

 T. microcale, Butler. Mr. Guy Marshall also identified T. demagore, with its reduced 

 black markings above and pinkish underside, as the dry-season form of T. ejj//i/ia, but 

 Dr. Butler unites it with T. daira, of which he considers it to be the dry-season 

 form. 



He writes : " The wet-season form of the male nearly resembles the male 

 of typical T. efrida on the upper surface, but the female shows no trace of the interno- 

 niedian spot of that species, whilst on the under surface all the discal spots are 

 wanting. The dry-season form is smaller, shows scarcely a trace of the black inner 

 edging to the orange sub-apical patch ; the secondaries also have no marginal spots, 

 and the under surface is suffused with buff."
