This Teracolus has a more restricted distribution than 
any that I have met with; my specimens were all taken 
within a dozen miles of Khartim—the most southerly at 
Soba [Lat. 15° 32’ N.]. Shendi is in Lat. 16° 42’ N., and 
Ambukél in Lat. 18° 4’ N., so that the total range in 
latitude is but 22°. 
There is a specimen in the Hope collection taken by 
HK. N. Bennett on the Upper Nile near the Pyramids of 
Meroé [Lat. 16° 55’ N.], which are not many miles north 
of Shendi. There is, however, another specimen, which 
seems to be referable to the same species, that was taken 
by “S. L. and H. Hinde ” in the Kenya district of British 
Kast Africa—about on the Equator. 
Very closely allied to ephyia, but separable from it, is 
T. las, Butl., of which Aurivillius (3. p. 5) gives the dis- 
tribution as from Damaraland to Natal. Prof. E. B. 
Poulton, in 1905, took a specimen at Artesia station, 
British Bechuanaland [Lat. 24° §.]. 7. lavs might be termed 
the representative species of 7’. ephyia in South Africa.* 
Mr. Hinde’s specimen was taken 154° south of my speci- 
mens of ephyia, and the extreme north of Damaraland is 
yet another 17° further south, so that whether it be referred 
to ephyza or to lais, it was found in an (at least apparently) 
extremely isolated position.

The type came from Ambukél, though Kirby’s Catalogue 
gives Arabia. 
This is another little-known butterfly. Miss Sharpe 
[A Monograph of Teracolus, 1901, p. 128] considers 
hagore to be the dry-season form of daira, but on what 
grounds I know not. Dr. Dixey says it is impossible. 
In 1909 I took a male at Ad-Duwém [Lat. 14° 0’ N.], 
the only White Nile record that I know of. In 1912 I 
took a female near Sdéba station. 
[For the Hon. N. C. Rothschild’s captures see the 
preceding species. | 
Mr. Cholmley took four males in the district to the 
north of Suakin. Mrs. Waterfield takes it at Port Sadan, 
where I myself took seven males and five females.
