222 Mr. A. G. Butler on a Collection of Lepidoptera 



in a small pill-box ; but unfortunately they were attacked by 

 two specimens of a little beetle (Triboliumferrugineum) } which, 

 by the time they arrived, had destroyed or damaged every 

 specimen ; only three retained the thorax intact so as to render 

 it possible to set them out.

 Three specimens. Kurrachee, August.

8. Teracolus protractus, Butler. 



Two specimens. Hubb River, .Beloochistan, August. 



9. Teracolus puellar 'is , Butler. 



One specimen (<$). Hubb River, Beloochistan; August. 



This prettly little species was evidently taken for a small 

 example of the following, from which, however, it may readily 

 be distinguished by the much broader black border of the 

 secondaries. Mr. Moore received a long series of T. puellaris 

 in a collection from Kutch (but T. vestalis did not come with 

 it) ; it occurs also in the Punjab. 



10. Teracolus vestalis, Butler. 



Three specimens. Hubb River, Beloochistan and Kur- 

 rachee ; August. 



One male example is labelled " Muggin Peer." Is this 

 Magar Pir, Kurrachee ? The female is from Kurrachee. 



The male of T. vestalis was described from a Scinde ex- 

 ample, and the female from one taken at Agra, N.W. Punjab : 

 the capture of it in Beloochistan therefore slightly extends its 

 known range. 



11. Teracolus dirus, Butler. 



This species was described and figured from an albino 

 female in Mr. Moore's collection ; the ordinary form has the 

 apical area of the primaries above broadly carmine, being, 

 in fact, very similar to T. dulcis, but larger, the male with 

 broader black internal border to the apical area ; the basal 

 area of the wings darker in both sexes, and with distinct 

 blackish spots at the outer extremities of the first and second 

 median branches on the under surface. 



Four pairs. Kurrachee, July 1879. 



Judging from an example of T. dulcis ? recently received
