(, bose ) 
a visit to the spot with a net yielded but a solitary 
specimen. It seems to frequent the driest and most barren 
places. 
3. Herpaenia lacteipennis, Butl. This insect I have only 
once taken, and then the brood was obviously almost over. 
The four tattered specimens I took were flying in a broad 
and, for the time, grassy “‘ khor,” where there was a variety 
of vegetation. 
4. Calopieris eulimene, Klug. I was surprised to find this 
considered a rare insect, as it is to me one of the most widely 
distributed species that I take. In fact, wherever the wild 
caper- bush grows there will this most beautiful little insect 
almost certainly occur. In a freshly caught specimen the 
red veins on the underside of the lower wings are heavily 
outlined in green, but in a worn specimen hardly a trace of 
green will be left. The female has no pink sheen to the yellow 
tips of the fore-wings. 
5. Teracolus phisadia, Godart, I have only taken once, 
at Sinkat, the hill station about 72 miles from Port Sudan, 
where it was almost the only insect to be found; it was flying 
round plants of what I took to be a sort of creeping cactus 
(possibly Vites quadrangularis, Wallich). 
6. Teracolus chrysonome, Klug. This is common enough 
in some “ khors ” near Port Sudan, though I have never taken 
it in the public gardens. It seems to go on continuously, 
never Swarming, but always to be found throughout the 
winter months. 
7. Teracolus protomedia, Klug. In 1912 this was a common 
insect, and in spite of being very difficult to catch, I brought 
home a fair series. This year I never saw it, though why I 
never knew. 
8. Teracolus halimede, Klug. This insect seems to be 
moderately common throughout the winter. When chased 
it has a habit of flying straight through the nearest thorn 
bush, so that the ragged creature which emerges on the other 
side has earned its own freedom. The female seems rarer than 
the male. 
9. Teracolus pleione, Klug. This charming little insect 
was scarce in the winter of 1911, quite common in 1912, but
