East- African Butterflies and Moths. 441 



Fam. Pieridse. 

 Teracolus eliza, sp. n. 



Similar to T. regina, Trimen, but differs in having a black 

 line commencing from the first median nervule, which con- 

 tinues to spread up to the costal nervure, this black line en- 

 closing a large prismatic purple patch on the fove wing ; the 

 nervules on the hind wing terminate in rather large black 

 spots on the hind margin ; the black veins in T. eliza are 

 strongly indicated ; at the base of the wings there is a slight 

 dusting of grey. Diam. 65 millim. 



The female of T. eliza is somewhat like that of T. regina 

 figured in Mr. Trimen's book (pi. xi. fig. 3), but differs in 

 having a very broad black scalloped border on the hind mar- 

 gin of the hind wing. T. eliza has one black spot at the eud 

 of the discoidal cell ; there is also another spot between the 

 median and submedian nervules. 



The underside of the female is pale yellow, with a stronger 

 streak of dark yellow along the submedian nervure. There 

 is also a row of black spots between each nervure. The basal 

 half of costa is deep orange. Diam. 63 millim. 



Teracolus laura, sp. n. 



Similar to T. subvenosics, Butler, but differing in having a 

 black line commencing from the submedian nervure and pro- 

 ceeding up to the costa, enclosing a patch of fiery orange-red at 

 the apex of the fore wing. The black margin of the hind wing- 

 is broad and inclined to spread a little way up the nervules. 

 T. laura has a black spot at the end of the discoidal cell on 

 the fore wing, and there is also a faint spot on the hind wing 

 at the end of the cell. The bases of the wings are thickly 

 dusted with grey. 



The nervules on the underside of T. laura are strongly 

 marked with black, and there is also a faint border of a 

 yellowish-green colour along the hind margin of the hind 

 wing. 



The female of T. laura differs from that of T. suhveno- 

 sus in having no black spot at the end of the cell and also in 

 having the outer edge of the dark basal area of the fore wing 

 regularly angulated, like a flight of three steps. Diam. 47 

 millim.
