T. Hewitsoni in the less diffused and brown markings across 
the secondaries. Hxpanse of wings, ¢ ¢ 44 millim.

This is a very beautiful and most interesting link between 
the 7. vesta and 7. chrysonome groups ; as it retains the discal 
stripe (although in a somewhat interrupted form) across the 
secondaries 1t must be placed between 7’. catachrysops and T. 
Hewitsoni, the order of the species being :—1. T. amelia; 2. T. 
mutans; 3. T. argillaceus; 4. T. velleda; 5. T. vesta; 6. T. 
catachrysops; 7. T. aurigineus; 8. T. Hewitsoni; 9. T. 
gaudens; 10. 7. chrysonome. With the exception of the 
Abyssinian 7. velleda we possess all these species in the 
Museum. 
The following species is still more interesting, since it 
supplies a link long wanting between the 7. cyprea and 7. 
vesta groups; I have great pleasure in naming it after its 
discoverer. 
8. Teracolus Hanningtoni, sp. n. 
9g. A little smaller than 7. vesta: white, slightly tinted 
with sulphur on the upper surface ; both in pattern and colo- 
ration above greatly resembling the white female of the 
Ceylonese J. modestus, though much larger; a careful com- 
parison, however, shows that in detail the pattern corresponds 
more nearly with that of 7. mutans; the spots upon the 
broad black border ef primaries, however, are almost wholly 
obliterated, and the arched decreasing series across the disk 1s 
composed of spots as small as in the male of 7. mutans (7. e. 
rather larger than in Z. amelia). The under surface is most 
like 7. vesta, but very different, the wings being bright sul- 
phur-yellow, the primaries with the basal two fitths suffused 
with orange ; a small black spot at the end of the cell; exter- 
nal border blackish brown, olivaceous at apex, interrupted by 
two series of sulphur-yellow spots, the inner series interrupted 
and angulated, the outer series straight, decreasing ; the usual 
spot connected with the border on the interno-median area: 
secondaries with the basiabdominal area sprinkled with 
orange scales; veins brown, a slender irregular oblique cho- 
colate-brown line across the basal third ; external half choco- 
late-brown, crossed by two series ot large sulphur-yellow spots, 
one discal, the other marginal: body below white. Expanse 
of wings 44 millim.

T. Hanningtont must be placed between 7. intermissus and 
T’. amelva.
