and hind margins to as far as the first median nervule. Hind wing : 

 Ground colour creamy white ; the nervules terminating in black spots 

 on the hind margin ; the costal margin greyish black ; a slight dusting 

 of grey visible at the base of the wing. Under side : Central area of 

 the fore wing white, the apical area orange-yellow, but paler than on 

 the upper side ; black nervules relieving the orange patch, but not 

 extending beyond the second median nervule. Inner margin blackish 

 grey, but not continued for the whole length. Hind wing : Ground 

 colour white, all the nervules indicated in black, a faint indication of a 

 brownish bnnd across the discal area just visible, although more strongly 

 marked in some of the otlier specimens. Expanse, 1-4 in.

The female resembles those of T. carteri, Butl., and T. isaura,

? . Fore wing : Central area creamy white ; the basal area rather 

 thickly dusted with greyish black ; the apical area brownish black, 

 relieved by five orange spots of a somewhat pale tint ; a faint line of 

 this pale orange colour being also visible on the inner edge of the dark 

 apical patch. Near the posterior angle, on the inner margin, is a 

 dusky grey spot, a thin dusky line uniting it to the dark apical area. 

 Hind wing : Central area white, the base dusted with grey, hind 

 marginal border brownish black, rather heavily marked ; a broken 

 transverse discal line of brownish black also shown on the costal 

 margin, and again across the median nervules, almost uniting with 

 the hind marginal border. Under side : Ground colour white ; on the 

 apical area an oblique band of orange, with a smoky suffusion of brown, 

 the latter extending to the posterior spot ; the apex pale sulphur- 

 yellow ; the costa and nervules near the hind margin smoky brown. 

 Hind wing : Ground colour greenish white, the nervules strongly 

 emphasized as brown lines ; the reddish-brown discal band well pro- 

 nounced, but broken between the third median and radial nervule ; 

 the usual orange streak present along the costal margin. Expanse, 

 1-5 in.

Some of the females vary somewhat, the yellow spots on the 

 apical area of the fore wing being replaced by white ones. This 

 is an interesting little species, and I shall figure it shortly in my 

 ' Monograph of the genus Teracolus.' It seems to have a fairly 

 wide distribution, as specimens are in Mr. Harrison's collection 

 from Nairobi, Nyangori, and Kamagombo. 



In the Hope Museum at Oxford are specimens sent by Mr. 

 Wiggins from Lake Victoria Nyanza, north-east shore, 3800 ft., 

 South Kavirondo, Ugaia to Kisingiri ; all collected January 

 lst-14th, 1903.
