SYNONYMY OF SOME SPECIES OF INDIAN PIERINZ. 521 
B, Underside, forewing, the lowest of the three black spots near 
the outer angle extending to the inner margin. 
T. PUELLARIS, Butler. 
T. OCHREIPENNIS, Butler, 
T. Rorus, Swinhoe. 
Of the above forms, 7’. dubius is an exact synonym of 7’ vestalzs, and 
LT. rorus of T. ochreipennis. T. vestalis and T. puellaris are wet-season 
forms and T. intermissus and T. ochreipennis dry-season forms, 
T. peelus isa lemon-yellow variety of the female of T. zntermissus. 
Section E.—Of moderate size. Forewing with a crimson apical 
patch. No glands on wings of male. 
In the British Museum the following eight forms are separated :— 
. DANAE, Fabricius. Ceylon, Coimbatore and Bombay. 
SANGUINALIS, Butler, Ceylon and Khandesh. 
. Dizus, Butler. ‘») 
. EBOREOIDES, Butler. | 
IMMACULATUS, Swinhoe. ? Karachi, 
. DULCIS, Butler. 
. SUBROSEUS, Swinhoe. J 
. TAPLINI, Swinhoe. Poona and Bombay. 
The above undoubtedly represent only one species. 
T, danaé is the rainy-season form in Southern India with a broad- 
ish black margin to the hindwing, and is replaced in the dry-season 
by T. sanguinalis, which differs in being slightly smaller, and in 
having less black on the hindwing. 7. dirus, T. eboreoides and 
T. immaculatus run one into the other and represent the extreme 
of the dry-season form froma dry-climate, and as a rainy-season is 
practically unknown in Sind, the heavily marked rainy-season form is 
not found there. 7. dzrus, which is the most heavily marked form of 
the three, is hardly separable from J. sanguinalis. T. dulcis is in- 
separable from J. dérus in the male, but differs in the female in having 
no discal spots on the upperside of the hindwing, an eminently vari- 
able character, and in any long series of females, typical specimens of 
T. dulcis would be obtained. T. taplint and TJ. subroseus are slight 
varieties of 7. dirus, the underside in both being more or less suffused 
with pink, 7. subroseus, differing from 7. tapline only in having a rather 
narrower inner black margin to the apical patch, There are very few
