with less strongly-defined markings. Expanse of wings, S $ 

 37 millim. 



One male and three females. — Thrupp. 



Two males. Duderi, 26th April, 1884. — Yerbury. 



Var. b. Still smaller, the male with apical patch as in the type, 

 but more broadly bordered internally with sulphur-yellow ; black 

 marginal edging only indistinctly seen with the help of a lens ; 

 under surface of primaries as in var. a, of secondaries pale pink 

 with base of costa orange : the female with the apical patch much 

 paler than in var. a, the marginal spots wanting, the discal spots 

 ill-defined ; the markings of the secondaries oljsolete, the markings 

 of the under surface faintly indicated in olivaceous, instead of deep 

 brown, the secondaries pink-tinted. Expanse of wings, S 2 

 3.5 millim. 



One male, two females, 2nd January. -TVirM;)/;. 



The three forms which I here associate under one specific name 

 are doubtless representatives of the three supposed species taken 

 by Col. Swinhoe in Bombay, viz. T. pseudevanthe, T. titea, and 

 T. eucharis ; whether they are distinct or not can be decided only 

 upon the spot by careful successive experiments in breeding. There- 

 fore, whilst I refrain from asserting that the Indian types are mere 

 varietal forms, I equally refrain from separating as species the three 

 gradational types found in Somali until more is known concernin"- 

 them. The male of the form taken by Major Yerbury (var. a) 

 somewhat resembles Klug's figure of T. liagore S ; his supposed 

 female is a male of a distinct species allied to T. glycera. 



42. Teracolus nouna. 



Anthocharis nouna, Lucas, Expl. Alger., Zool. iii. p. 350, u. 14, 

 pi. 1. fig. 2 (1849). 



One male. Bunder Maria, 27th April, 1884. 



This is evidently a wide-ranging species. Major Yerbury obtained 

 only one example on the Somali coast ; it agrees in all respects with 

 males from Aden, excepting that the orange subapical dash on the 

 under surface of the primaries is a little less red in tint. 



43. Catopsilia hybl^a.

 Three males and one female obtained.

S 2 • Less than eighty miles south of Berbera. — Lort-Phillips. 



These two species of Catopsilia were taken with the fingers whilst 

 settling near water ; of the latter species only a single rather worn 

 pair was obtained.
