200 Mr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera 



The female of this species seems to be comparatively rare ; 

 of a dozen examples recently brought home by Major Yer- 

 bury in papers the whole are males.

Two males and one of the females have the third black 

 spot of primaries expanded so as to reach the inner margin ; 

 the under surface of the males is yellow, but that of the 

 females varies from clear yellow to pinkish yellow, approaching 

 flesh-pink.

There can be little doubt but that the form of this species 

 occurring at Campbellpore will prove to be fairly constant in 

 the slight differential characters which distinguish it from the 

 type; it is, however, extremely doubtful whether it can be 

 separated, inasmuch as we have a female from Kutch with 

 the typical small black spots and deep flesh-pink secondaries 

 on the under surface, males from the same locality being 

 yellow below. 



81. Teracolus puellaris.

In Major Yerbury's private collection I found one or two 

 females of Teracolus ochreipennis taken at Campbellpore on 

 the 29th June. Major Yerbury says it was fairly common 

 for two days, 29th and 30th, and then disappeared.

It will be seen that this species was obtained at the same 

 time in 1886 as in 1885. Major Yerbury, in his notes, 

 expresses a belief that T. bimhara, farrinusj purus^ and a 

 fourth form unidentified by Mr. De Niceville are all varieties 

 of T, etrida. He says : — " All these forms of Teracolus are 

 common round Campbellpore. There are two broods, spring 

 and autumn. I obtained specimens also at Hassan Abdal, 

 Khairabad, and near Barracoo on the Murree and Pindee
