218 Mr. A. Gr. Butler on the Genus Teriag. 



under the name of T. hapale is represented by two females 

 (probably both of this species), which he has figured as sexes. 



Terias Templetonii, sp. n. 



^ . Chrome-yellow ; primaries with black border, as in T. 

 purreea and T. senegalensis ] secondaries with narrow inter- 

 nally-sinuated black border. Wings below gamboge-yellow, 

 with well-defined black marginal dots : primaries with two 

 black dots, followed by a little S-shaped marking within the 

 cell ; a transverse black-edged spot closing the cell : secon- 

 daries with three black ring-spots near the base, a black-edged 

 angular spot at the end of the cell and a discal bisinuated 

 series of irregular squamose and therefore somewhat indistinct 

 brown dashes across the disk. Expanse of wings 42-51 

 millim. (type 47 raillim.). 



Ceylon [TempJeton) . 



Terias ceres, sp. n. (PI. V. fig. 3.) 



1^ . Probably hitherto confounded with T. floricola, but 

 nearer to T. chalcomiceta. Wings above gamboge-yellow ; 

 the black outer border of primaries much wider at apex and 

 more angular than in T. floricola, and interrupted at external 

 angle so as to leave only a black point at the extremity of 

 the submedian vein : secondaries with very minute marginal 

 points. Under surface of secondaries and costal third of pri- 

 maries of a sericeous creamy-yellow colour, remainder of 

 primaries a little paler than above ; costal and external mar- 

 gins ochraceous ; a small oblique black dash near the base of 

 the cell, an ^ -shaped brown marking in the centre, and a 

 white-centred brown P-shaped marking closing the cell ; an 

 irregular, transverse, subapical, lilacine brownish patch, 

 beyond which the apical area is suffused with reddish brown ; 

 black spots at the extremities of all the veins extending into 

 the fringe, which is also tipped with blackish : secondaries 

 with a small brown crescent near base of subcostal area, 

 three brown-edged white dots in an angular series across the 

 basal fourth, and a brown-edged white X-shaped marking at 

 the end of the cell ; an irregularly bisinuated series of squa- 

 mose greyish dashes across the disk. Expanse of wings 42 

 millim. 



$ . Bright sulphur-yellow, with the apical patch broader 

 both above and below than in the male, so that this female 

 in almost every respect resembles the males of the Indian 

 T. silhetana. 



^ , Mauritius {MacgilUvray) ; ^ , South Africa [E. G. 

 Buxton).
