Mr. A. G. Butler on the Genus Terias. 221 



of a clearer brighter yellow colour than Terias hecabe, and 

 the outer border of the secondaries, especially of the female, is 

 much broader than in that species. Its range, so far as I 

 can judge, appears to extend eastward from Kurrachee to 

 Assam, and thence southward as far as Malacca. This 

 species has frequently been confounded with T. hecahe, 

 owing to the great similarity of the males, but it appears to be 

 distinct. 



Terias sari, Horsf. 

 The typical T. sa7'i was described from a female example 

 obtained in Java. In Horsfield and Moore's Catalogue the 

 species is also recorded from Borneo, and a male from this 

 locality in the Museum corresponds so nearly with the female, 

 especially upon the under surface, that I consider it far more 

 likely to be typical T. sari (^ than the form figured by Mr. 

 Distant ; yet until the male is received from Java the question 

 must remain undecided. The female from Java has the 

 quadrate apical patch below uninterrupted, as in the smaller 

 form from Malacca. 



Terias plioshus, sp. n. (PI. V. fig. 4.) 

 ? . Bright lemon-yellow (colour of male T. liecabeoides) : 

 border of primaries black-brown and veiy like that of T. maro- 

 ensis (P. Z. S. 1883, pi. xxxviii.), but decidedly narrower 

 upon the costa and with more irregular inner edge ; fringe 

 blackish grey ; costa sprinkled with black scales : secondaries 

 with tlie marginal line less perfect and more sinuated than in 

 T. maroensis. Under surface more brightly coloured even than 

 above, with markings disposed as in T. maroensis, but all of 

 them broader and of a richer chocolate-brown colour ; the pri- 

 maries with an oblique dash in place of the minute blackish 

 dot towards external angle ; marginal black dots larger. 

 Expanse of wings 43 millim. 

 Queensland. 



Terias latilimhata, sp. n. (PI. V. fig. 5.) 

 ^ ? . Coloration of T. liecabeoides, but the black external 

 border wider throughout and of twice the width on the median 

 interspaces of the primaries, so as greatly to reduce the depth 

 of the bisinuation ; the inner edge of the border of the secon- 

 daries more strongly dentate-sinuate. Markings below more 

 strongly defined. Expanse of wings 46 millim.
