ISS-I.] butterflies of the genus teracolxjs. 439 



T. rurus, C. Swinhoe. Below, both sexes with the spots in the 

 fore wings as in T. puellaris ; both sexes with the hind wings flesh- 

 colour. 



I think T. intermissus is a doubtful species, but the other four 

 are quite distinct and easy to distinguish, 



9. Teracolus peelus, n. sp. (Plate XXXIX. c?, fig. 9.) 



Kurrachee, May and September. 



d" 2 . Bright sulphur-3'ellow above. Fore wings with a broad 

 irregular marginal black-brown border ; three sulphur-yellow spots 

 placed obliquely below and lessening in size from the apex, a third 

 much larger spot on the second median interspace, a small dot 

 below this spot, and a diffuse slightly smaller spot near the hinder 

 angle, in some specimens running into the angle and cutting the 

 outer border shorter at the submedian nervule ; seven pale-yellow 

 dots on the margin, the last two close together, near the hinder 

 angle ; costal margin greyish yellow, in some specimens with a tinge 

 of flesh-colour ; a large black spot at the end of the cell ; the basal 

 half of the subcostal area, discoidal cell (excepting its inferior angle), 

 and 'the base of the interno-median area black-brown. Hind wings 

 with the black border exactly like T. intermissus. 



Under surface of wings sulphur-yellow, with the costa, apex, and 

 outer border flesh-colour, with the spots arranged as in T. vestalis. 

 Hind wings flesh-colour, a distinct dark spot at the end of the ceil, 

 and a few faint discal spots limiting the outer border, which is 

 distinctly visible through the wing. 



Expanse of wings, cJ $ ly^- to 2 inches. 



In coll. C. Swinhoe. 



10. Teracolus dubius, n. sp. 



Kurrachee, July and September. 



(S . Like T. vestalis, Butler, but has altogether a different appear- 

 ance. Above, the suffused black patch from the base runs right 

 into the very large spot at the end of the cell, and continues along 

 the costa in a uniform band until it runs into the outer marginal 

 band ; this band on both wings being much deeper than is usual iu 

 the groups. 



Below, the general ground-colour is dirty primrose, the apex of 

 the fore wings and the whole surface of the hind wings are tinged 

 with flesh-colour ; spots on the fore wings arranged as in T. vestalis, 

 but much larger. Hind wings with a dot at the end of the cell, and a 

 discal series of seven large reddish-brown spots, the fourth being 

 much the largest. 



Expanse of wings, ly^^ inch. 



In coll. C. Swinhoe. 



11. Teracolus phisadia, Godart, Enc. Meth, ix. p. 132, n. 40 

 (1819). 



Is identical with T. arne, Klug, Symb. Phys. t. 7. f. 1-4 (1829).
