at present the fact is not proved.” Mr. Loat’s collection 
appears to me to bring positive evidence against the view 
ot their identity, and from the above considerations I think 
there can be little doubt that Mr. G. A. K. Marshall is 
right in entirely dissociating 7’. evagore in all its forms 
(including 7. nowna, Lue.) from 7. yerburii (i.e. LT. daira). 
I am indebted to Professor Poulton, F.R.S., for the 
opportunity of working out Mr. Loat’s interesting col- 
lection, and also for the Plate which accompanies this 
paper.

The wet-season 9 (Fig. 2) is less brightly coloured than the 
corresponding ¢ (Fig. 1). 
In the dry season both sexes adopt cryptic colouring on 
the under-side, accompanied by leaf-like shaping of the 
fore- and hind-wing, more pronounced in the @ (Fig. 4) 
than in the g (Fig. 3). , 
Iie. 5, Leracolus auao, Lucas, wet-season form, male. 
aan iO: 5 56 55 female. 
T’. wuaxo, dry-season form (7. topha, Wallgrn, = T. keiskanma, 
Trimen), male, 
a female. 
The wet-season 2 (Fig. 6) retains some of the colouring of 
the dry-season form. 
Both sexes in the dry season (Figs. 7 and 8) show slight 
uncination of the fore-wing. 
The specimens represented in Figs, 6 and 8 were bred by 
Mr. Mansel Weale, and belong to the series referred to in 
Trans. Ent. Soc., Lond., 1902, p. 201.
