and on seasonal forms of Belenois. 435 



Belenois leucogyne, Butl. 



This interesting species seems to possess a dry phase 

 only. 



Belenois creona, Cramer. 



The wet form of this species seems to be extremely 

 rare ; we possess only one pair ; above it resembles the 

 common intermediate phase, but on the under surface the 

 veins are lilacine grey in the male and black in the female. 

 The best characters for distinguishing B. creona from 

 J5. severina consist in the smallness of the subapical spots 

 on the upper surface of the primaries in the males, the 

 black and scarcely spotted border of the secondaries in 

 this sex and the white ground-colour of the female streaked 

 on the under surface with deep ochreous. B. creona is 

 essentially a West- African species ; B. severina Southern 

 and Eastern. 



Belenois johannse, Butl. 



I know this only as a dry-season phase ; it is a very 

 distinct species. 



Belenois mesentina, Cramer. 



We have a very extensive series of this species, B. 

 augusta = agrippina = lordaca being the wet phase, B. me- 

 sentina = syrin& intermediate, B. auriginea dry, and B. 

 taprobana being an insular dry phase differing in the 

 Slacker outer border to the male primaries, on which the 

 subapical spots are less prominent. 



Belenois teutonia, Fabr. 



The wet form is B. clytie = niseia ; the intermediate form 

 shows a narrow break between the discocellular bar and 

 outer border in both the primaries and secondaries of the 

 female, but no noticeable difference in the male ; in the 

 dry form the discocellular bar is well separated from the 

 border, and the white spotting of the border in both sexes 

 is clearly defined. 



Belenois peristhene, Boisd. 



jThe wet form has the secondaries below black with a 

 .submarginal row of orange spots. We have two examples
