patch of primaries replaced by a small triangular or cuneiform 

 spot towards the end of the cell ; the small internal spot 

 replaced by a broad patch continuous with the broad central

Teracolus, Swainson. 

 Teracolus catachrysops^ n. sp. 



Upper surface intermediate between T. vesta and T. amelia^ 

 the basal area being white, which changes to pale salmon- 

 colour just before the middle of the wings ; the base grey, 

 less suifused than in T. vesta, but more than in T. amelia, 

 the spots upon the broad border equal in size on the primaries 

 to those of T. amelia, but larger on the secondaries, where 

 those of the female are almost pure white ; discocellular spot 

 of primaries smaller than in T. vesta, but larger than in T. 

 amelia. Primaries below bright golden orange, with markings 

 nearly as in T. vesta : secondaries dull sulphur-yellow, with
