of the Genus Teracolus, Swains. 395 
Mr. Marshall’s supposition that 7’. puniceus would prove 
to be the dry-season form of J. hetera is thus shown to 
be incorrect ; personally I never accepted it as even a pro- 
bability, for it is rare to find so great a difference in the 
character of the apical patch in this group of Teracolus. 
18. Teracolus Lortt. 
Teracolus Lorti, E. M. Sharpe, P. Z. 8. 1896, p. 527. 
This very distinct little species, of which the Museum at 
present possesses two males only, appears to be confined to 
Somaliland and Gallaland, the dry-season form only being 
known. 
In TY. Lorté the magenta apical patch reaches the greatest 
development, extending along the costal nervure to a point 
opposite to the upper extremity of the discoidal cell. This 
patch is not of the same colour as in the other species of the 
group, being duller and more lilacine in tint. The idea of 
this pretty little species being a variety of either 7’. hetera or 
T. puniceus is quite out of the question.

Teracolus eliza, E. M. Sharpe, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. v. 
p- 441; Waterhouse, Aid Ident. Ins. pl. elxxxix. (1890). 
The most northerly examples of this species were those 
obtained in the neighbourhood of the Albert Nyanza by the 
late Emin Pasha; thence it extends southwards along the 
eastern side of Africa through Nyasaland and the Zambesi 
district to the Transvaal *, and to the west it passes through 
the Bechuana country to Namaqualand and Damaraland, 
T. anax (=eliza) is the wet-season form.

Anthocharis tone, Reiche (not Godart), Ferret and Galinier, Voy. 
Abyss. pl. xxx. figs. 1, 2, 5-7 (1849). 
The range of this species appears to be from Wasin Island 
through Zanzibar south-westwards, just touching Nyasaland, 
* One of Hewitson’s examples is even labelled as from Kaffirland, but 
this may be an error.
