 provisionally kept it separate, but with great doubt. The late

Capt. Watson (vide Jour. Bomb. N. H. Soc. x, 1896, p. 282) and 

 the late Mr. de Niceville (vide Jour. Bomb. N. H. Soc. xi, 1898, 

 p. 588), both careful Lepidopterists and not given to unnecessary 

 subdivision of forms, emphatically stated that T. andersoni, Moore, 

 was distinct from any form of T. hecabe, Linn.

cJ $ . Upperside : yellow, of a peculiarly pure tint of sulphur, 

 somewhat darker in wet-season 

 specimens, but the different sea- 

 sonal forms seem to vary little in 

 the shade of the ground-colour or 

 in the shnpe and character of the 

 markings on the upperside. These 

 latter are similar to those in Terias 

 hecabe, var. merguiana, Moore, but 

 the black terminal area on the 

 fore wing is intensely black and 

 has its inner margin anteriorly 

 sharply angulated on vein 7, just 

 beyond the upper apex of the 

 discoidal cell, whence the edge of the black area is carried
