Pierine Butterflies of the Genvs Terias. 63 



the male approaching nearest to the dry form of T. Marslialli 

 on the upper surface, but without the rusty or rose-coloured 

 border on the under surface : the female has a faint rosy 

 tinting to the apex above and a more or less dusky ill- 

 defined apical border ; on the under surface this sex has 

 both subapical dashes and the apex of the primaries rosy 

 ochreous. The black-tipped white female figured by Mabille 

 in Grandidier's ' ^ladao-ascar ' does not belono" to this 

 section of the genus, but is a variation of T. hapale,

The male is bright lemon - yellow, with a black outer 

 border to the primaries, regularly arched internally as in 

 T. regularis ; it is different from the latter in outline, the 

 costal margin of the primaries being longer and the apex 

 more acute ; but for this fact and its much clearer (less 

 deep gamboge) colour I should have concluded that it might 

 be the dry-season form of T. regularis, that previously noted 

 being the intermediate form.

E. Africa. 



I have not seen this species, but can only suppose that it 

 must be allied to the preceding. 



Section II. 



The males characterized by the presence of a patch of 

 thickened scales between the median and submedian veins 

 towards the base of tlie primaries below and a corresponding 

 subcostal patch on upper surface of secondaries. 



This section contains the group to which T. venata, herla, 

 and Jcegeri belong, also T. smilax and one unnamed species 

 from the New World. 



T. herla group. 



Characterized by more or less acutely-pointed primaries, 

 tlie dry forms u.-sually very ruddy below.
