A good and distinct species, but of this, as of C. dulcis, there 

 appear to be some varieties more or less constant. One form has the 

 hind wings below pure white, and in another form the hind wings 

 are shaded with pale purple. I have a long series of all these forms 

 in my collection with many intermediates. C. subroseus in its typical 

 rose-coloured form is a very common insect at Ahmedabad. 



56. Callosune etricla. 



Anthocaris etrida, Boird., Sp. Gen. Lep. i., p. 576 (1836). 

 Teracolus pvrus, Butler, P. Z. S., 1876, p. 160, pi. 7, f. 14, 15. 

 Common from April to July. 



57. Callosune pernotatus. 



Teracolus pernotatus, Butler, P. Z.S., 1876, p. 159, pi. 7, f. 1. 

 July, August and September. 



58. Callosune farrinus. 



Teracolus farrinus, Butler, P. Z. S., 1876, p. 159, pi. 7, f. 2. 

 May to September. 



59. Callosune limbatus. 



Teracolus limbatus, Butler, P. Z. S., 1876, p. 161. 

 June 1880 to October 1885. 



C. etrida has the underside of the hind wings immaculate, C. lim- 

 batus (common in Ceylon) is similar, but has the black band on hind 

 wings above entire and not macular. 



C. pernotat us has a whorl of pale blackish rather diffused discal 

 spots on the hind wings below, and so has C. farrinus, but the 

 latter is a larger insect, and has all its black markings deeper ; the 

 inner black band of the orange apical patch on the fore wings above 

 is broad, and the black macular marginal band of the hind wings 

 above consists of large spots, sometimes like black patches. 



I am inclined to think there are only two, not four, species ; but 

 the types of each are very distinct in appearance, and until proof 

 can be produced they must stand. 

 60. Callosune bimbura, 



Teracolus bimbura, Butler, P. Z. S., 1876, p. 161, pi. 7, f. 3, 4. 

 December, January and February. 



The type came from Bimbur in Cashmir, but it is common during 

 the cold weather in the plains all over Western and Southern India ; 

 above it is like a finely marked 0. etrida; below the hind wings 

 (excepting the discoidal cell) are pinkish suffused with brown atoms, 

 the discoidal ceil standing out pale whitish in the pinkish brown 

 colouration.
