nebula being present upon the primaries : this I propose to regard 

 as a variety of T. acaste, modified in colouring by crossing v?ith T. 

 cmlestis.

In Hewitson's collection two females of T. acaste stand under T. 

 halimede, whilst T. acaste is represented by four females of T. 

 pleione and one of T. acaste, T. pleione consisting of one typical 

 male and three males of the variety T. miriam ; one of the females 

 labelled " Red |.Sea " corresponds more closely with King's figures 

 than those in the present collection, but is evidently referable to the 

 same species. 



As T. acaste appears to have a wider range than T. ccelestis, it 

 would be at any rate premature to regard them as mere sports of one 

 variable species. 



27. Teracolus protomedia.

It is a curious thing that specimens of this species almost in- 

 variably arrive in a more or less broken condition ; of the ten 

 examples before me only two males came to hand in anything like a 

 perfect state ; possibly their brilliant colouring may render them 

 especially attractive to birds. The species is an interesting one, since 

 it links the T. hewitsoni and T. halimede groups.

The example does not perfectly agree with the type from the 

 Victoria Nyanza, but is too close to render it safe to separate it 

 upon a single specimen. Major Yerbury says that he has only seen 

 two examples, " one on the 7th July and the other a few days 

 later."
