Taructjs theophrastus Fabr. (No. 33.) 



1 d . This species has a wide range throughout the Indian 

 and Ethiopian regions and the Mediterranean subregion of the 

 Palsearctic. It does not occur in Prof. Balfour's collection.

Pour specimens ; apparently 3 S and 1 5 . This species also 

 was not obtained by Prof. Balfour. 



" Found commonly everywhere, both hills and plains, but 

 chiefly the former. Flight always close to the ground." —

A Lycfenid collected by Eiebeck, who visited Socotra soon after 

 Prof. Balfour, was not determined'.

One 2 . The specimen is broken, but less worn than the type, 

 M'hich is also a female. The large black spot at the end of the cell 

 in the fore wing, subquadrate in the type, is here rather sub- 

 triangular, with the base directed inwards, and shovsing on both 

 surfaces a slight proximal indentation. On the under surface the 

 outer border of the fore wings is greyish shot with pink, not 

 semitransparent as in the type. 



Mr. Butler (loc. cit.) assigns this form to the genus Syncliloe, 

 but adds that '• the possession of a male specimen \\ ould satisfac- 

 torily decide whether or not it is an unusually aberrant Belenois." 

 The male is still unknown ; the venation, however, is unmistakably 

 that of Belenois, as the 1st subcostal branch in the fore wing 

 is concurrent with the costal (cf. B. mesentina, B. creona, B. gidica, 

 &c.), while the upper discocellular is straight and forms an open 

 angle with the lower. There can lie little doubt that this interest- 

 ing species comes nearest to B. ahyssinica Luc, the dry -season 

 form - of B. gidica from the African mainland. 



" Bare ; only met with in the Haghier Eange, at an altitude of 

 about 2300 ft. In the same place another white butterfly of 

 corresponding size was seen, with circular black spots [perhaps 

 the male]. Both flew fast."— ^. N. B.
