444 ON BUTTERFLIES OF THE GENUS TERACOLUS. [Juiie 17, 



brown spot outside on the next interspace below, a spot at the end 

 of the cell, and a double spot in the centre of the interno-median 

 interspace. 



Hind wing white, slightly powdered with rosy grey near the base ; 

 a discal series of five black-brown spots, from the costa downwards 

 within the veins, a marginal series of five similar spots on the veins ; 

 fringe sulphur-yellow. 



Underside marked and coloured exactly as in the males with the 

 addition in the fore wings of the fifth discal spot, and the interno- 

 median spot ; basal third suffused with sulphur-yellow ; secondaries 

 with a clear-cut ringlet of red-brown, at the end of the cell. 



Expanse of wings, c? li^j to 1^^-, f 2 to li inch. 



Most of the females are very diminutive. 



I have a pair of this species from Sukkur taken in January 1882, 

 and two females in my collection marked W. and J. Canal.

d Bombay, ? Poona, May 1883. 



Near to T. sanguinalis, Butler, the primaries shorter, with less 

 oblique outer margin, the apical patch of carmine of a brighter 

 clearer colour, with its inner border in-arched towards the costa in 

 the male ; the costal border and basal area less strongly dusted with 

 grey scales ; secondaries in both sexes with the blackish marginal 

 spots well separated. The ground-colour of the female decidedly 

 whiter than in T. sanguinalis, which is suffused with sulphur-yellow ; 

 under surface of the secondaries in the male flesh-coloured instead of 

 white, of the female creamy white instead of yellowish. 



Expanse of wings, ^ 5 1^'^ inch.

22. Teracolus sipylus, n. sp. (Plate XL. c? $, f. 10 & 11.) 



Zanzibar (Moir). 



Comes between the T. danae and T. etrida groups : is shaped like 

 the former, but has the apical patch of the orange-colour of the 

 latter. 



c? . Above white. Fore wings — costa black, base deeply irrorated 

 with black, with long pale bluish-grey hairs, the irrorations running 

 along the inner margin in a broad diffused band for two thirds of its 

 length ; apical patch large, with a deep all-round black border, the 

 outer one running into the veins, forming long teeth, the inner one 

 thickening downwards to the first submedian nervule, and from 

 thence in an even line to the hinder angle. Hind wing with the 

 base irrorated as above, with a band on the costa corresponding to 

 the band on the fore wings ; outer border deep and continuous. 



Below white. Fore wings — costa pale black, outer border of same 

 colour marking the veins ; apex with a broad orange-red band Tun- 

 ing across, with a brown band through it, the black band on the inner 

 margin showing through the wing. Hind wing with the basal half 

 of the costa orange-red, outer border with the band showing through
