1884.] BUTTERFLIES OF THE GENUS TERACOLUS. 443 



Group 9. Type Teracolus dana'e, Fabr. 



18. Teracolus phcenius, Butler, Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, vol. 

 xviii. p. 488 (1876). 



The type is said to be from Abyssinia. It is very rare in collec- 

 tions and is a beautiful species. 



I have a long series of both sexes taken at Kurrachee, June, July, 

 and August, 1879. The discal series of double spots on the hind 

 wings below is distinctly marked, and very regular in all the 

 specimens I have examined, making it an easily distinguishable 

 species. 



19. Teracolus immaculatus, n. sp. 



Kurrachee, August 1879. 



S . Upper surface and primaries below similar to males of T. 

 phoenius, Butler ; secondaries below pure white, with two black spots 

 close together at the end of the cell, with a carmine spot between 

 them, a dark-brown spot on the centre of the costa, and a dot below, 

 the discal series of spots entirely wanting, the macular border 

 visible through the wing. 



This may be only a variety of the preceding species ; but the 

 appearance of the under surface is very distiuct and unlike any 

 other species in the group. 



Expanse of wings, 2^^, inches. 



20. Teracolus subroseus, n. sp. (Plate XL. c? $, f. 6 & 7.) 

 Kurrachee, April to July. 



S . Upper surface pure white ; costa finely grey, a little grey 

 powder at the base above the cell, a faint minute spot at the end of 

 the cell ; a large carmine apical patch with narrow clear-cut black- 

 brown costal border, with black- brown angular spots on the outer 

 border on each vein, the last spot extending below the patch on to 

 the second median nervule ; a slight diffuse inner black-brown 

 border. 



Hind wing pure white, with a minute black-brown spot on each 

 vein along the outer border. 



Below — fore wing white, a minute faint transverse spot at the end 

 of tlie cell ; apical area dark rosy flesh-colour, partially bordered on 

 the inner side with four red-brown square double spots commencing 

 from the costa, one between each pair of nervules. 



Hind wing rosy flesh-colour, with a double red-brown dot at end 

 of the cell, a discal series of four double faint red-brown spots between 

 the nervules, from the costa downwards, and in some examples a faint 

 trace of another double spot near the interior border. 



5 . Upperside white, costa and basal area powdered with rosy 

 grey ; apical patch with six large carmine-orange spots divided by 

 the veins, which tiiicken outwardly, forming a diffuse apical and 

 outer border, descending to the last subniedian nervule ; four double 

 black-brown spots on the inner side, from the costa downwards, one 

 on each interspace, running just within the patch, one similar black-
