uppor-side markings, and for the strong yellow tinge of its under-side 

 colouring. 



AVallengreu {loc. cH.) in 1875 recorded the confirmation of his previous 

 suggestion (in 1872), that his Deidamia would prove to he the <? of Evenina, 

 hy the capture in the Transvaal (on 27th March 1870) by INIr. N. Person of 

 the paired sexes. Mr. W. INIorant on 3d INIarch 1872 took near Potchefstroom 

 (as he wrote to me) a Deidamia " at the same spot as the Evenina now sent;" 

 and I had for some time previously looked upon the two as in all probability 

 sexes of the same species. 



The S of this beautiful Teracolus, as Wallengren pointed out in his orighial 

 diagnosis, has some aflinity to T. Eph/jia of Klug {Synib. Phys., t. vi. 11'. 9, 

 10)', but judging from the latter author's figures and brief description, it is a 

 far larger butterlly, with a relatively much larger and brighter orange apical 

 patch than EpJujia; the Dongolan species is, moreover, entirely devoid of any 

 longitudinal blackish striping in both wings, has a distinct black terminal 

 disco-cellular spot in the fore-wing, and the white under side of hind-wing 

 absolutely without marking of any kind. 



The $ Evenina appears to stand quite alone in the peculiar distribution 

 and outline of the basal blackish clouding, especially in the fore-wing, where, 

 as above described, it completely fills the discoidal cell up to the subcostal ner- 

 vure, and forms a singular truncate projection below and beyond the extremity 

 of the cell. 



Evenina seems to be tolerably prevalent in the Transvaal and farther to the 

 northward, spreading far into the South Tropical regions, but only penetrates 

 sparingly the northern parts of the Cape Colony, and has not been recorded 

 from a°ny locality to the southward of the 30th parallel. There were thirty- 

 eight examples in Mr. J. A. Bell's collection, made in Damaraland.
