Miscellaneous. 209 



I doubt if any description alone would satisfactorily point out to 

 a collector the exact differences by which these forms could bo at 

 once separated ; but the distinctions, such as they are, may be 

 summed up thus : — 



Colias sareptensls. 



(S . Yellow, rather brighter than the European C. hyale, but with 

 the spotted border more like that of 6', crate 5 • 



5 . ^Vhite, like the variety O. helice of C. nJxaa, the hind wings 

 clear with indistinct orange spot. 



Colias pallida. 



(S . YeUow, like C. erate c? , but usually smaller, and with a 



series of indistinct yellow spots through the centre of the outer 

 border of the primaries. 



2 . White, much as in the preceding species, but sometimes a 



little more yellow in tint ; the hind wings decidedly greyer, with 



the orange spot large and vivid ; a fairly well-defined siibmarginal 

 series of bell-shaped pale spots. 



Colias erate. 



Yellow in both sexes ; c? with black border, as in C. edusa, the 

 § with spotted border, much as in that species ; hind wings with 

 spotted border and conspicuous orange spot. 



16. Teracolns fcnista, Olivier. Kandahar, in October. 



" Common in October and November ; seen in no other months." 

 A continuation of this note in the next line seems to imply that 

 the species is common in Quetta and also in India. 1 have not seen 

 any from Quetta; but the species from Scinde (T. Solaris), obtained 

 by Lieut.-Col. Swinhoe, is very distinct, and is, so far as we know 

 at present, restricted to Scinde. 



17. Belenois mesentiiia, Cramer. $, Quetta, in May; cJ, Kanda- 



har, in October. 

 Also said to be common at Kandahar in November and April. 



18. Sj/Hchloe dapVidice, Linn, c? $ , Quetta, in May ; (5 caught in 



a maize-field near Charaan on the 16th Aiigust, 1880, by H. 

 S. W. S. Barnes. 



19. Pamjihila Irtrsandra, Moore, c? $ , Kandahar, October and 



November. 

 Of the female Col. Swinhoe remarks : — "Scarce : have a few Quetta 

 examples." It should, however, be observed that the female was 

 supposed to bo J\ mathias, and therefore may be distinct from 

 those taken at Quetta.
