the Butterflies of the White Nile. 35 
Mrs. Waterfield and [ found it in numbers, though local, 
in the scrub on the landward side of Port Siidan, males 
preponderating largely. It did not turn up in the Park. 
I have not come across any records from the White Nile 
district south of Khartiim, but it has a wide range further 
south, being found in Uganda, British Kast Africa, German 
East Africa, Portuguese Hast Africa, Congo, Rhodesia 
and Angola. Aurivillius (3. p. 51) adds Arabia and Northern 
Nigeria. 
The sexes are distinct enough, but it is not so strikingly 
dimorphic as most species of the genus, nor does it seem 
to be variable. 
46. Teracolus vesta, Reiche. 
The type came from Abyssinia. 
I took a solitary specimen at Rejaf [Lat. 4° 45’ N.], on 
February 14th, 1912, and have no other records from this 
part of Africa although its range includes Mombasa, Natal, 
Mashonaland, the Transvaal, Delagoa Bay, Damaraland 
and Angola. 
47. Teracolus amelia, Lucas. 
The type came from British East Africa. 
Aurivillius (3. p. 52) says that this species, which extends 
from Senegal to Nubia, is very likely a local race of the 
preceding, but Dixey considers them quite distinct. 
Loat took a solitary female, of the dry-season form, 
near Kaka; the Swedish expedition took another specimen, 
also a female, at the same place [Lat. 10° 40’ N.]. 
I did not come across this species and have no other 
records from that part of the world, but there is a specimen 
in the Hope collection from Abyssinia (River Atbara). 
48. Teracolus protomedia, Klug. 
Klug says: “ex Arabia felici, Ambukohl: mensibus 
Julio et Augusto.” 
Petherick took both sexes on the White Nile. Dunn 
took it on the Bahr al-Zarafa. Loat took five females 
near Kaka. Selous took two of each sex near Tawfikiya, 
one of the males being very small. The Swedish expedi- 
tion took six males and three females all to the south of 
Kaka, the specimens being all of normal size and coloration. 
In 1909 I took a solitary female at Khartiim, and subse- 
quently ten males and one female at Ad-Duwém, also one
