the Butterflies of the White Nile. 35 



Mrs. Waterfield and I found it in numbers, though local, 

 in the scrub on the landward side of Port Sudan, 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 Khartum, but it has a wide range further 

 south, being found in Uganda, British East Africa. German 

 East Africa, Portuguese East Africa, Congo, Rhodesia 

 and Angola. Aurivilhus (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 sohtary 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 anielia, Lucas. 



The type came from British East Africa. 



Aurivillius (3. p. 52) says that this species, which extends 

 from Senegal to Nubia, is very Hkely a local race of the 

 preceding, but Dixey considers them quite distinct. 



Loat took a sohtary 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 

 Juho 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 sohtary female at Khartum, and subse- 

 quently ten males and one female at Ad-Duwem, also one
