295 New Species of Butterflies of the Subfamily Piermje. 



tinted, a rather narrow blackish apical patch, widest on costa 

 (where it occupies about the external two-fifths of the 

 margin) and tapering to extremity of second median branch, 

 its inner edge dentated; a small and slightly browner spot 

 at extremity of first median branch : below like the preceding 

 species, but the black spots often very indistinct. 



Expanse of wings 33-38 millim. 



Baudin Island (J. J. Walker). B. M. 



Of this species we have fourteen examples. 



Terias Chamber lain I, sp. n. 



^ . Bright gamboge-yellow; costal margin of primaries 

 very delicately black, excepting towards the base ; costa 

 sprinkled with black scales to end of discoidal cell ; extreme 

 base of cell and of submedian vein marked by short black 

 dashes ; outer border narrowly dark brown, commencing at 

 about two-fifths of the length from apex and tapering to ex- 

 tremity of first median branch, its inner edge zigzag from the 

 third median branch hindwards : secondaries with a con- 

 spicuous pure white glandular patch towards base above the 

 subcostal vein ; veins terminating in very minute black dots 

 followed by orange spots at the base of the fringe : bo ly 

 normal. TJnder surface gamboge-yellow, sparsely and very 

 finely irrorated with brown atoms; a well-defined black spot 

 at the end of each discoidal cell ; fine black dots followed by 

 orange angular markings terminating the veins, the orange 

 markings uniting and covering the fringe towards apex of 

 primaries ; a pure white glandular patch between median and 

 submedian veins towards base of primaries ; a very indistinct 

 W-shaped series of squamose brown spots crossing disk of 

 secondaries. 



Expanse of wings 30 millim. 



Bahamas (Neville Chamberlain). B. M. 



We only possess one male of this pretty little species. If 

 Felder's statement was correct that his T. smilacina nearly 

 approached T. smilax both in pattern and structure, this 

 would be the second New- World species of the T. Iceta group ; 

 but an examination of Felder's description clearly shows that 

 his species did not possess the glandular patches which charac- 

 terize the T. Iceta group, and therefore was " wirklich nicht 

 zunachst verwandt " to T. smilax (as he ought to have said).
