Butterflies of the Genus Precis. 211 
46. Precis terea. 
Papiho terea, Drury, Ili. Ex. Ent. ii. pl. xviii. figs, 3, 4 (1773). 
Western and Equatorial Africa. B. M. 
The dry phase appears to be rare. 
47. Precis tereoides, sp. n. 
Allied to P. terea, but the orange belt abbreviated, and 
only indicated by a more or less diffused streak inside the 
transverse central dark brown line; primaries as strongly 
falcated at all seasons as in the dry phase of P. terea. 
E:xpanse of wings 48-51 millim. 
British E. Africa to the Arusa Galla country. B. M. 
48. Precis elgiva. 
Junonia elgiva, Hewitson, Exot. Butt. i1., Jun. pl. i. fig. 1 (1864). 
Junonia zipha, Butler, Cist. Ent. i. p. 7 (1869). 
Southern to British Hast Africa. B. M. 
The locality ‘Old Calabar” for P. z7pha must have been 
incorrect; in our long series we have no West-African 
example at all approaching P. elgiva. ‘This species has a 
more decided dry phase than P. terea—leaf-like below and 
with violaceous tints. 
49. Precis Goudotiv. 
Vanessa Goudotii, Boisduval, Faune Ent. de Madag. p. 45, pl. vii. fig. 1 
(1833). 
Madagascar. B. M. 
We possess only a rather dry phase of this species. 
D0. Precis Gregorit. 
Junonia Gregorn, Butler, P. Z. S. 1895, p..726, pl. xlii. figs. 7, 8. 
British East Africa. B. M. 
Lhe seasonal phases of this species appear to be very little 
marked. P. Gregorit might almost as correctly be regarded 
as a form of P. Goudotit as of P. stygia; but it differs 
remarkably in outline of wing from both species, although the 
form of the secondaries is almost that of P. Goudotii. 
D1. Precis stygia. 
Precis stygia, Aurivillius, Ent. Tidskr. xv. p. 275 (1894). 
Precis ethyra, Staudinger (nec Feisthamel), Exot. Schmett. i, p. 102 
(1883). 
West Africa. B. M. 
The extreme dry phase seems to be very rare. It is leaf-
