 tAvo indistinct transverse bands on the secondaries, the extremity 

 oi: all the uervures marked with a very small black spot ; the 

 body black above, with pale yellow pubescence on the thorax, 

 the sides of the abdomen yellow with a line black longitudinal 

 line, the underside and legs pinkish- white.

 rather ill-defined black spot at the anterior angle. Expanse of

Yokohama (Pryer). 



Allied to T. laeta, Bdv., but differs in having the primaries 

 more romided at the apex, and in its paler coloiu- and in the 

 form of its marking-s. 



Terias Jaegeri, Menet. 



This species is allied to the Indian T. laeta. Roisduval men- 

 tions a Japanese variety of it, but I think there is no doubt it is 

 distinct from that sj^ecies, I have examined nearly a hundred 

 specimens and tind they differ in several constant characters 

 from their Indian ally, the sexes present scarcely any difference 

 in size or coloration ; the locality given by Menetries (Haytij 

 is of course erroneous.

I am indebted to Mr. H. Pryer for specimens of the male of 

 this widely distributed species, which have enabled me to 

 identify it with the description and figure above quoted ; as I liad 

 previously only seen female s])ecimens from Ja])an, 1 was not 

 able to satisfactorily determine to what species they pertained.
