Species of the Lepidoptcrous f/cnus Terias. 199 



The form which follows this appears to be a hybrid 

 between T. mariesii and T. anemone, and therefore may 

 be provisionally named. Fig. 7. 



Terias hijhyidd. — The outer border of the primaries 

 rather wider throughout than T. anemone, the inner 

 margin exhibiting from eight to nine fairly regular sinua- 

 tions, of wdiich the two on the median interspaces are 

 broader but scarcely less prominent than the others, the 

 costal margin more or less bordered by a narrow black 

 band ; secondaries with the outer border varying from a 

 narrow band to a series of dots ; size variable. 



2. Terias anemone. Fig. 9. 



Terias Anemone, Felder, Wien. Ent. Monatschr. vi. 

 p. 23 (1862). 



a. Eesembles the preceding form, and therefore differs 

 from Felder's type in having a more or less pronounced 

 black border to the secondaries ; the border of the 

 primaries is about as wide as in T. hijbrida, but the 

 sinuation of its inner edge is only strongly defined upon 

 the median interspaces. Figs. 8, 10. 



&.', Typical T. anemone, with slightly narrower border 

 to the primaries than in var. a, and dotted margin to the 

 secondaries. Fig. 9. 



c. The costal margin of the primaries only slenderly 

 black close to the apical border, and the external border 

 reduced to little more than a sinuated line towards the 

 external angle; secondaries as in preceding form. Fig. 11. 



Terias connexiva. — The outer border almost as in var. 

 c of T. anemone, but the apical portion with an inward 

 angulation, as in the darkest forms of T. mandarin a ,- 

 the length of the apical patch variable ; in one out of our 

 three examples it is as short as in T. mandarina ; one of 

 the specimens with the short apical patch has the ol)lique 

 dash characteristic of T. mandarina on the under surface 

 of the primaries ; size variable. Fig. 12. 



I have little doubt that this is a hybrid betAveen 

 T. anemone and T. nuDidarina. 



3. Terias mandarina. Figs. 16 and 18. 

 Terias mandarina, Be L'Orza, Lep. Jap. p. 18 (1869). 

 a. Very like the preceding form, but the outer border 

 of the primaries giving place to black marginal dots
