TERACOLUS. 137 



spotted with white, the dorsal stripe on each flank orange ; below tlie lateral stripes 

 a black projection spotted with white on each seg-ment. The larva? are covered with 

 short bristly hairs. The pupa varies in colour from pale lilac to straw colour, with a 

 ])urple central and yellow lateral stripes. Length of the pupa stage about seven 

 days. The pupa? have a considerable resemblance to those of Eitcldoc cardniii'uies. 



" T. ecayore is very oomnion inland ; the larvae feed on the same plant as T. ^/cr/j/frj/i 

 Neither of these orange-tipped species is to be found in Aden proper. Too much 

 stress should not be laid on the fact that Capt. Nurse bred a specimen of 2\ evayore 

 from a caterpillar taken with the larva? of T. yerhuri/i. The facts of the case are as 

 follows. At Shaik Othman one day Capt. Nurse collected about fort}^ larvae feeding 

 on a certain species of plant (probably Cadi/ha iiidica). These larvje were collected from 

 many plants, and from them emerged many specimens of T. ycrbin-yi and one specimen 

 of 2\ evayore. The larva of T. ecayore was not recognised, though it may have been 

 quite distinct from those of 2\ yerbi/ryi ; nor is there any evidence to show that the 

 egg from which this larva emerged was not laid by T. ecayore %. T. ecayore and 

 y. yerbnryl may be seasonal forms, but at present the fact is not proved."
