4. Wings of male above uniformly sulphur-yellow, with the apex of 

 primaries and a spot at end of cell black; secondaries below 

 yellow, with an interrupted oblique black streak: female pale

 black ; a black discocellular spot in primaries ; secondaries

This extraordinary species is clearly related to the T. tone group, 

 but it is very dissimilar from all the species in the genus. 



5. Wings white, more or less clouded with orange ; primaries 

 of the males with grey apical border and black veins. 



5 a. Wings of male grey at base ; orange area restricted and pale.

This species is much deeper in colour than Klug represents it to 

 be in his figure ; its affinities seem about equally balanced between 

 the two groups, of wbich T. fausta and T. eupompe may be consi- 

 dered as typical, the male nearly resembling the former, the female 

 more closely approaching the latter. 



The succeeding six fepecies, constituting my Section 6, might 

 perhaps be separated generically from Teracolus, inasmuch as the 

 males have an embossed spot on the internal area of primaries near
