According to Capt. Lang (P. Z. S. 1865) this Terias has a wide 

 range ; it is taken on the Himalayas and plains. Mr. Swinhoe 

 (P. Z. S. 1866) notes it as common amongst grass. 



There is one mutilated specimen of P. Hecabe in the Banksian 

 Collection in the British Museum. Linnaeus quotes Petiver's figure, 

 which, however, seems to be intended to represent T. Candida, or an 

 allied species. Edwards's figure evidently represents the Linnaean 

 species ; he gives the locality " China," which is also cited by Lin- 

 noaus as the habitat of the species. Cramer's figures (pi. 124. 

 figs. B, C) represent a variety. 



5. Terias Libythea.

Canara. (Presented 1860, by the Hon. East-India Comp.) B.M. 



Although Fabricius considered Cramer's P. Nise to be identical 

 with P. Libythea, there can be little doubt that the latter was an 

 unspotted variety of Horsfield's T. Drona ; we have just such a
